The small plane, which cost an additional $1,200 flied a banner with the website she set up to find her 5-year-old dog, Jackson. "I am just one person and I really need to get the word out there," she said.

這架另花1200美元（逾3.6萬台幣）租下的小飛機，掛上寫有一串網址的旗幟，那是她為了搜尋5歲的傑克森特地架設的網站。她說：「我只有一個人，真的很需要把消息散播出去。」

Talermo and her friends have distributed thousands of flyers with the photo of the 13-kilogram dog with a white, black, and gray fur and bright blue eyes.

塔勒摩和她的朋友已發送數千張傳單，上頭印有這隻13公斤重、毛色為白、黑、灰相間，並擁有明亮雙眼的狗狗照片。

To help finance her search, Talermo launched a GoFundMe, where she has raised more than $7,000. She plans to donate the extra money to Rocket Dog Rescue.

為了資助她的搜尋計畫，塔勒摩還透過群眾募資平台「GoFundMe」籌措資金，已募集逾7000美元。她計畫將剩餘的錢捐給動物救援組織「Rocket Dog Rescue」。
