PEARLAND – Many people consider their pets like their own children, and for some, it would be difficult to think if anything were to happen to their furry friend.
Houston Texans linebacker Whitney Mercilus was hoping his two dogs were OK after they went missing from his Pearland home Thursday night.Â

"I truly appreciate all the RTs and well wishes. We are still looking for Rocky and Princess but have some leads. You guys are awesome," Mercilus said.
We hope they come back home!
UPDATE: Mercilus' dogs were found in a Pearland neighborhood and were picked up by a man in a truck.
The dogs will be reunited with Mercilus on Saturday.
