Icela did not tell her children their pet had been found, and instead opted to surprise them.

When the children go outside, Icela is standing by the trunk of her SUV. 

One of the kids says: ‘What the heck? Did you get a dog?’

Their mom opens the drunk and Lola jumps out of the car. 

The children scream, and their mom says: ‘It’s Lola.’

The young girl immediately bursts into tears and her mom hugs her. Her brother quickly joins the comfort circle.
