A Tampa TikToker’s urgent plea has the whole city looking for Mermaid, a local service dog whose owner’s boyfriend was overheard plotting to get rid of her. The internet is rallying around Mermaid and her owner, with people across Tampa and St. Pete sharing the story and promising to alert vets and service dog groups. Legally, only the owner can rehome a dog—so this boyfriend’s plan could land him in hot water. It’s sparking a bigger conversation: would you ever choose a partner over your pet? Tampa, let’s help reunite Mermaid with her mom and remind everyone—pets are family! #Pets #Tampa #ServiceDog
