The poster included a cute doodle of a small dog with a green pen.

Some netizens were clearly moved by the child’s plea.

Social media user ‘Tatiana Martel Arevalo’ said “I clearly remember when my daughter started drawing like this when her kitten suddenly disappeared. It broke my heart and we stuck a poster with her drawings and description all over the place.”

‘Ricardo Oblitas Mendoza’ added: “Where there is love, there is hope.”

However, some netizens criticised her parents for appearing to not be helping the girl. ‘KT Rine’ said: “If her parents are not supporting her, maybe they abandoned the dog?”

So far, it is unknown if the youngster has managed to find her beloved pet.
