What BBN said about it

Gloria Vance · World News AnchorA ten-year-old Jack Russell and Chihuahua mix named Luna was found safe in Yellowstone after a month lost in the park, having lost half her body weight.
Gloria Vance · World News AnchorWith me from a yacht is Tobias Ravenscroft, a crisis publicist at Halcyon Tide Reputation Group. Tobias, you have not met this dog.
Gloria Vance · World News AnchorWhy are you here?
Tobias RavenscroftGloria, I'm here because this is the greatest comeback of the decade. Luna did not get lost, she went into a strategic retreat.
Gloria Vance · World News AnchorShe lost half her weight and spent a month in a national park with bears. I would not call that a retreat.
Tobias RavenscroftBetween us and the sea gulls, that was a slimming relaunch. Half the weight, all the buzz.
Tobias RavenscroftI blew my little gold whistle and the whole thing came together.
Gloria Vance · World News AnchorYour whistle.
Tobias RavenscroftGold, custom, very expensive. Between us and the sea gulls, I whistled from this yacht, and the dog felt it two states away.
Gloria Vance · World News AnchorLet me ask you plainly. Did you speak to anyone at the park, or to anyone who found her, before today?
Tobias RavenscroftI coordinated the energy of the search.
Tobias RavenscroftBetween us and the sea gulls, I basically found her. Spiritually, with the whistle, in a legal sense.
Gloria Vance · World News AnchorI have been asked to leave embassies for smaller claims than that. But you didn't answer the question.
Tobias RavenscroftFine, a ranger found her. A very lucky, very available ranger. Is he represented?
