A woman from North Hollywood is celebrating the reunion of her pet French Bulldog, who had been gone for around two years until being found by good samaritans about 100 miles away.
According to Yasmine Haezart, she hasn’t seen her French Bulldog, Havoc, in precisely 791 days. Havoc escaped through a gap in the cul-de-sac where she lives and was subsequently taken and taken by a passing motorist.
“The last two years of my life have been stolen from me, just like my dog was,” Haezart stated.
Havoc, a resident of North Hollywood, did everything she could to find her pet during the two years she was missing. Her plan was to track his scent using cadaver dogs. She used social media to her advantage and posted flyers.
Haezart acknowledges that her life was drastically upended by Havoc’s absence. She was a teacher who took a six-month leave of absence to search for her missing dog, posting on Facebook and Instagram every day.
“There’s nothing you can suggest that I didn’t,” she stated. “The main that I did was I made a lot of posts that went viral on social media, and I created Havoc’s army of people who would look for him constantly.”
In actuality, Haezaert’s commitment to preserving Havoc’s tale is what led to her eventual reunion with the cherished Frenchie.
After Havoc escaped his captors after being carried to Apple Valley in San Bernardino County, good samaritans who were desperate to track down the dog’s true owner uploaded a picture of him online and brought him to the Apple Valley Animal Shelter.
“The next morning, they called me from Apple Valley and had me read out loud the microchip number and they said, ‘It’s Havoc. We have Havoc,’” Haezart stated. “I never stopped looking. I never stopped keeping his name alive and reminding people that he’s still out there and still missing.”
According to SPCALA authorities, microchipping is the best course of action for safety in the event that a pet is lost or stolen because French Bulldogs are such a popular breed.
“The next thing to do is make sure you’re spaying or neutering them,” SPCALA VP Miriam Davenport stated. “If you have an unspayed or un-neutered French Bulldog and someone picked them up, they might try to breed them and, certainly, you wouldn’t want that for your own pets.”
Regarding Haezart and Havoc, she stated that her “good boy” will be returning home with two additional Frenchies in need that she saved during her quest for him, as well as a few new family members.
She ends by giving credit to everyone, both local and distant, who listened to her story and supported her during her hunt for Havoc.

“It’s truly just a testament to the power of community and the power of good people,” Haezart stated. “They’re out there. They still exist and they brought Havoc home.”
Haezart assisted in bringing five other French Bulldogs who had been stolen or gone missing back to their owners during the two years she spent looking for Havoc.
