Cris and Felicia, Nala’s owners, soon showed up and explained that Nala had run away while they were out walking the day before and that they’d been searching for her ever since. Julie said, “We were a safe place, and she knew it. Nala’s Mom came right over and picked her up. It was a really happy reunion.” Nala was reunited with her family, and her Mom’s mind was finally at ease.
Johnson said, “They thought that we’d be mad that their dog snuck into our house, but our feelings couldn’t be more opposite. Everyone was safe. Nobody was stuck out in the storm. It was a roundabout way to open our hearts to someone else.”

In the end, Nala’s surprise visit resulted in the two families becoming good friends. A new Facebook update stated: “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.”

The two families later arranged a playdate with their dogs, during which they got to know each other better. Julie said- “If they ever need a dog sitter, I think we’ve proven we can be trusted. And we’re sure it goes vice versa.” Now they’ve made friends for life, and “for years we have a story to tell.”
The pet owners have also had a talk with their pets about requesting permission before going into slumber party mode at each other’s house for future surprise visits.
