It turns out, Princesa ran away from home. But, there are plenty more happy endings to be made.

Coco's been Jaylen Traynham's pet for two years, but their household dynamics have changed.

He's hoping to find Coco another family to love.
"A home where she can run around. She likes a big yard," Traynham says.
