Every spot I was out there, and (the family) just came like heartbroken. Like there were a couple meltdowns,” Comer added.Comer didn’t want Athena’s 2 a.m. entrance to wake her four young kids, but it did.”Like I was excited, but I tried not to wake up the kids but the kids woke up anyways from the excitement,” Comer said.The family said that the experience has changed Athena.They said she is part husky, but she’s never had the husky howl until now.”She has not stopped whining or howling since she’s got home, so she’s definitely found her voice,” Comer said.Athena was neither microchipped nor spayed.The family said they’ll take care of that after the holidays.
