At the very beginning of May, Julie Thornton Johnson discovered something unexpected when she got up in the morning. She and her husband, Jimmy, had never seen the enormous brown dog that curled up next to her in bed.
The couple has owned three pups, named Zeppelin, Hollis, and Jupiter, who sometimes join the slumbering humans on the bed, but not this time.

The mystery dog continued its peaceful sleep, and her husband Jimmy, "the calm in our home," took it upon himself to join the dozing dog and cuddle up with her as if she were one of their own.

The dog was lovely and friendly, but there was still a mystery about its owner. The hunt for her owners got underway

They reasoned that the dog must have been walking outside looking for shelter while a severe storm raged. The couple had a lost puppy on their bed since they had unintentionally left their home's back door open.
The dog lovers sat back down next to the unknown pup and discussed the best approach to track down its owners. Julie wrote alongside some photos of the dog on her Facebook page, saying: “It is absolutely normal to wake up in our house with one of OUR dogs in the bed with us. One small problem, THIS IS NOT OUR DOG, nor do we know how she got in our house. This is the weirdest post I have ever had to make. Is this your dog?”

Updates and additional images continued to arrive, with one joking, “she will not tell me who her mom is. Maybe she will after her next nap.”
They soon received a call from the dog's concerned owner, who lives a short distance away. Her name is Nala, and her mother is on her route to pick her up, according to the Facebook statement.
They learned that the dog had gotten lost while out for a stroll the day before; as a result, when the storm arrived, she could not find her way home and found refuge with strangers.

Soon after, Nala's owners, Cris and Felicia appeared

Nala's mom and worried minds were put at ease. The anxious thoughts of Nala's mother were alleviated because she was back where she belonged. The two families ended up developing close friendships as a result of Nala's unexpected visit.
One Facebook post says: “We’ve become Facebook friends with Nala’s moms. I don’t recommend waking up with a stranger, but if you do, I hope it’s someone like Nala.”
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief when Nala was reunited with them. Since the amusing incident, they've had a puppy play date, which has helped the puppies' owners and themselves get closer.

In a statement posted to Nala's Facebook account, Nala's family says: “Our overly friendly pup, Nala, has hit an all-time record for ignoring personal space and added yet another trick to her long list of Houdini acts. Thank you Julie Thornton Johnson for keeping her safe, treating Nala like your own, and making sure you got the word out for us to find her!”
