When Blue disappeared during the chaos of Hurricane Harvey in 2017, her family was heartbroken but never stopped hoping. One day she was bounding around their yard in Corpus Christi, Texas, and the next—gone without a trace. They searched, they called her name, and they waited. Days turned into months.
