OVIEDO, Fla. — It’s been five days since a fuzzy pink and white puppy was left behind at an Oviedo Dairy Queen.

Since then, the dog has been spoiled by workers with ice cream sundaes, walks outside, and arts and crafts.

But the puppy is still homesick.

TRENDING NOW:

"Day two: Still haven't found my person, but the people watching me have lots of ice cream. Miss my kid though, waiting patiently for you to come back for me," the puppy posted on the Oviedo Dairy Queen's Facebook page Friday.

Workers at the Dairy Queen have chronicled the puppy’s time at the store hoping someone who knows the stuffed animal’s owner will recognize the pup and help them get reunited.

We know there is probably a sad kid out there missing their friend. Trying to find the owner of this super cute pup. Please help us spread the word and get this lovey back to their person. ☹️🐶

Day four: Got to play outside today, reminded me of the times we went to the park together. Not a moment passes by without the thoughts of you in my mind. #oviedoDQ #lostlovey #helpmefindmykid
