Too good to be true? Vivi search coordinator Bonnie Folz sends this email:
<
I got an unconfirmed sighting call on Tuesday night. A cab driver who works the airport claims he watched a man walk Vivi out of Terminal 8, on leash, at JFK. I got the call about a half hour after he saw her. He said the man put her in a white Ford cargo van, driven by a woman. He gave me the description of the van, the lic. plate #, and the address and phone # that was written on the side of the van. He alerted security right away to have them stop the van and they blew him off, he then went to the police and they told him they didn't know anything about a lost dog. That's when he went to find a flier (thank God for Wendy still posting the airport) and called me.
I back tracked with the phone # and got a car, truck, van rental company in NJ. The person on I spoke to gave me the name of a transportation company that rented the van from them. We are in the process of trying to obtain the information from that transport company to find out who hired them and what they were there for to pick-up/transport. I've got a couple of people working different angles to get this information, since calling the company outright, they could tell us to go pound sand.
I know it's a long shot, and many may thing we're nuts, but we always follow up, to the best that we can, on all sighting calls, this is no different.
I'll keep everyone posted. Please forward to whoever may have missed.
Forever keeping the faith.

Hoping and praying this sighting is the one that will lead to Vivi!
Many thanks to Bonnie and all who continue faithfully and tirelessly to follow up on all leads. We are all FOREVER KEEPING THE FAITH!!!
XOXO Mila
Oh my gosh, this is incredible news. I am praying this is our girl. I hope the media will not get hold of this info though and blast it in the papers. If this is Vivi, we don't want these people getting away with her.
Thanks Bonnie for letting us know. We know you always follow up on all leads. Praying this is the one that finds her.
Sending prayers to Viv and hoping for her safe rescue...I'm always thinking about you little girl..xoxrooby
I have kept Vivi in my thoughts and prayers for so long. Here's hoping this is our girl. Thanks to Bonnie and Denise for keeping this story alive. Joanne in Seattle
I just read this and I am speechless. I am praying this leads to getting Vivi home to her family. Keeping everything crossed. Thank goodness for our Vivi crew, and Wendy whose name I didn't know. It's time for that miracle.
Prayers from NJ that this is our girl
It's not her. Get over it. Like some cab driver knows anything about anything.
THE CAB DRIVER DID CHECK WITH THE AIRPORT POSTER/WENDI AND HE HAS SOME IDEA WHAT THE DOG LOOKED LIKE AND WAS SMART ENOUGH TO GET SOME INFORMATION ON THE VAN......TRUE, IT MIGHT NOT BE HER, BUT IT'S NOT LIKE THE CAB DRIVER IS A TOTAL IDIOT LIKE SOME WHO POST IN HERE.
I'M STILL PRAYING THAT IT IS VIVI....KEEPING THE FAITH!

Hey people, Terminal 8 is what? Could it be someone has had Vivi all this time and doesn't know what an important girl she is? Could it be she came back to JFK?(some don't think this is possible...)
Is Terminal 8 a work place for some or what?
Any news on the possible sighting?
Viv could use some candles...lets pray her into a rescue! xoxorooby

Soooooo, perhaps our girl has been vacationing or just hangin' with the boys in Terminal 8?
Has anyone noticed on Vivi's candle site there are a lot of Spanish speaking people posting? I don't speak Spanish so I don't know what they're saying...It's also happening on Dante's candle site::::::::http://www.gratefulness.org/candles/candles.cfm?l=eng&gi=VIVI
http://www.gratefulness.org/candles/candles.cfm?l=eng&gi=DANTE
I noticed that too, allot of people from Argentina are posting on Vivi's candle site in Spanish.
Kathleen (is it Mc or Ssssss?), Can either of you translate the posts on the viv or Dante site?
I flunked Spanish...heh
xoxoroobyhttp://www.gratefulness.org/candles/candles.cfm?l=eng&gi=VIVI
Rooby, here is a link to a free translation site. Just choose the Spanish to English translation and just copy paste the words and it translates for you.
http://translation2.paralink.com/
From what i can make out from the translator site, they seem to be taking about finding a liver donor for a young girl maybe... i think they have the wrong Vivi group.
Why do you jump to conclusions that Spanish speaking people took your dog. That's racist.
Spanglish, can you read English? No one said that.
Spanglish, you idiot! Where di anyone say Spanish people took the dog. I was talking about the candle site and the people from Agrentina etc. who have been posting on what has always been the VIVI site......
Why do you jump to conclusions...got your head in the wrong place?
Anony, the good one, thanks for the link.
The dog wasn't Vivi by the way..It was a Greyhound...Can us believers be accused of jumping to conclusions? Oy vey in California!

Heh..........did you understand what I was saying? It got posted twice, probably so you'd understand!
Was just on candle site. Barebones translation of Spanish is that all these people are praying for someone named Viviana who needs a liver transplant.

Hi Everyone,
I again, have a request for prayers for my yorkie, winnie. After blood work and an ultrasound she has bumps all over her liver which could be nothing or could be cancer. They say to biopsy the liver is too risky for her at 14. So we just have to keep an eye on her and hope that she shows no symptoms. I have a candle site for her under "winni". Please pray for my sweet little girl. She's all I have left after her brother wesley just left us 2 weeks ago. Thanks guys.
Laura
uh, that weather station was my bad...I did it for my kids and somehow sent it by mistake....ackkkkkkkk
Will do Laura...sorry about your winni..I'm so very sorry. I rem. you just lost Wesley..

Hey Spanglish, we know you are pretty lacking in smarts, but thinking Spanish are of another race and assuming you are calling a "white" person a racist for saying someone is Spanish really ices the cake for us. Spanish people are Caucasian. Many refute the idea that there should even be race classifications anyway. We all came from Africa and adapted to the new environment we found ourselves in.
For that matter, we all that live on land go back to the first fish that crawled up on the land from the sea and on and on and on.

History 101 has concluded, please go to the next room for History 102.
Thank you Annie.
You are not too bright either Anonymous Aug. 30.
That would most likely come in an Anthropology or Paleontology class. Once again in trying to act so smart you show how stupid and uninformed you reallly are.
Hey Anne....It's good that you are so smart and informed - keeps people like me alert..
I sure wish we lived close to each other, I can tell we'd be great friends...
Thanks so much for your constructive criticism. I can tell you have tons of friends. I do envy you.
