Getting Back Home: The Amazing Story of Lumio the Pomsky

For five long days, the cute little pomsky Lumio was off the grid, and his fam was pacing the yard dreaming of a safe return. Then, on the 6th of October, the answer arrived right from the wild side of Tampines Expressway.

The “Buzza‑Buzz” Breakthrough

  • It all started when a peppy guy named Dickson was scrolling in the Telegram group that the owners had set up to hunt for the missing pup.
  • He swore he spotted Lumio hiding behind a roadside railing right after the Sengkang East Road entrance.
  • He immediately pinged the group with his GPS coordinates, and the pup‑hunting crew went on a full‑throttle jog.

Why Dickson Needed to Spot Him Again

He had initially seen an obscure dash‑cam clip from October 4 that suggested the little furball was eyeing that stretch of highway. “I’ve got a hunch the puppy might love that spot,” he told the group, and the suspicion paid off.

Team That Saved the Sit‑Chill Pup

  • EMAS (Expressway Monitoring Advisory System) and AVS (Animal & Veterinary Service) swooped in within 15 minutes, shutting off the area for a safe search.
  • The owners, plus a bunch of decent volunteers, combed the bushes until they caught a glint of fur.
  • At 3 p.m., the owner, Voxanne, spotted a tiny head peeking out. She made eye contact, and a firefighter‑like wag of the tail told her it was only a matter of time before Lumio stepped out.

Lumio on Line

Voxanne lured the pup out with her hand or perhaps his favorite treat (you know, the one that turns even a shy pup into a happy doggo). He was gently leashed, a few pats of love, and 120% happy vibes. The pup was then wrapped up in his cozy coat, fed a hearty meal, and showered — because you can’t walk a dog with dirt on him, right?

Doctor’s Verdict: Fine and Dandy

During the vet checkup, the small thing felt a bit chilly from spending some time in the rain. The vet reported:

  • Spotted slight fever because of the rain.
  • Got some teasing warts behind his right ear and a few scratches elsewhere.
  • Vitals — all good, all set.

Voxanne’s Big Thank‑You

When the dog finally had a warm bed and a soothing nap, the owners were thrilled. “The pup is safe, sound, and brimming with happiness again,” Voxanne raved. “We have to shout out to everyone who helped. Without them, this impossible rescue would never have happened!”

Wrap‑Up

Fun facts: Lumio’s family had posted the mis-lost story on Instagram several weeks ago, and the dogs that were adopted thereafter have given us a cascade of heartfelt support. Thanks to community spirit and some diligent searching, Lumio found his way home and so did the nine lives of the entire neighborhood. Cheers to community power and fuss‑free dog rescues!
