Sisson shared on her Instagram stories Sunday that while she was in an AirBnB in the Phoenix area, her dog went missing from the backyard, which had a six-foot-high concrete wall that “he wouldn't have jumped.” The back gate was also latched, she said.

She thanked people for sharing her posts, and called the running community “really special.”
