2410.0. "PLEASE KEEP YOUR EYES OPEN" by HDSRUS::BOURGEOIS () Thu Apr 27 1989 12:50

    Hello Feliners, I need your help. I know this belongs in Canine
    but I haven't been able to get in. 
    There is a lost Black Lab. He is from New Brunswick Canada and
    has a tag on him which says New Brunswick with a phone # to call.
    Smokey is 11 years old has a spec of white on his chest and has
    a red tinge on his back. He was at the Marlboro Fish &  Game that
    is near 20 and rte 495. If anyone sees him would you please contact
    me, Jan Bourgeois dtn 237-2692 h 508-562-5535. His owner has to
    go
    back to Canada tomorrow but if we can locate him he'll be taken
    care of until we can get him up to canada. Thank you. By the way
    if someone can get into Canine would they post this for me, I don't
    know if the problem is here in SHR or if Canine is down.
    Thanks again

        Canine has been moved to CVG::CANINE.....
    
        Make sure to give the local pounds and shelters a lost report
    as that may very well be where he will be.
    
        Good luck.
    
2410.3ThanksHDSRUS::BOURGEOISThu Apr 27 1989 13:346
    Thanks for the info about the node. All dog officers, shelters and
    even the police in surronding towns have been notified. Bob the
    owner was going to call the Marlboro radio station this morning.

2410.4Maybe he's been found?IAMOK::GERRYHome is where the Cat isThu Apr 27 1989 14:227
    Is there an answering machine on the number on the tag???  If not,
    Smokey may already be safe, but whoever found them can't reach anyone
    at the number on the tag.
    
    just a hopeful thought...

2410.5Hope we get luckyHDSRUS::BOURGEOISThu Apr 27 1989 14:5710
    If I understood correctly the number on the tag is Smokey's vet
    but I don't know if the area code is on it and who would think of
     a dog from Canada being lost! I mentioned the tag because it was
    a way of identifying Smokey. I don't know about you but all black
    labs look the same to except they come in different sizes. No flames
    please that is just my observation. Smokey loves people so there
    is a good chance he is with someone.

2410.6Still hoping he's been foundIAMOK::GERRYHome is where the Cat isThu Apr 27 1989 15:324

    cin...who's an eternal optimist!
    
2410.7VAXWRK::SKALTSISDebThu Apr 27 1989 16:096
    If there is no area code on the tag, you could dial that number locally
    and explain to the person that answers what is going on, and that if
    they get a call from someone that found a dog to call the correct
    number in Canada (collect)?

    Any new news about Smokey ??
    
    
2410.15SAD NEWSHDSRUS::BOURGEOISThu May 04 1989 10:1813
    Yes I am sorry to say. I have been out for a couple of days so didn't
    have a chance to get back to all of you. Smokey was found up in
    the woods past the Littleton cut of on 495 by some boy scouts.
    Evidently he was trying to find his way back home. He didn't have
    a mark on him and no blood I am assuming he died from a heart attack
    he was very over weight. I have some real mixed emotions about this
    and I think the whole thing could have been avoided but I'm not
    judging anyone, it's not my place. I feel really bad, I have a dog
    and 2 cats but I would have tons more if my husband would let me.
    Thanks for all your support and good wishes.

    I know it's a little late, but I just read this note.  I'm SO sorry
    about Smokey.....what a sad, sad story.  It makes us think about
    our animals and how precious they are to us...
