Her owners Mary Lynn Whitacre and Ryan Washick, tried to run after her, but they lost her.
They searched for her for hours. They even posted it on Facebook and asked people for help in case they find her.
Mary Lynn posted that Rajah was probably just around their area in Simpsonville and Woodruff Roads near Heritage Lakes.They also said that she was microchipped, and her tag has phone numbers.
The couple drove around the area, too, hoping to find Rajah at the side of the street. After hours of searching, they surrendered and went back home. It was a tiring night for Mary Lynn and Ryan, and they were hoping that tomorrow would be better.
But they got the biggest surprise at 3 AM. Their doorbell rang. And guess who they found? Rajah!
