The 19-year-old, who described her father as “truly pure”, said that he was “blubbering” when he called in to say the news.

As per her post, Veerman’s lawyer dad was wracked with guilt and described it as his “biggest screw up ever”. After profusely apologising over text, the distraught father resorted to googling techniques to find the missing hampsters.

He even set up traps and put out Chester’s favorite treat, peanuts, all over the house, in an attempt to lure the animal back to his cage.

Much to the delight of the father-daughter duo, Chester soon decided to show up but a day after. Veerman’s dad described it as the “most stressful day”.
