Dog on the Loose! — Brooklynian

Dog on the Loose!

I was headed east on Dekalb at Clinton today when I saw a cute fawn pit/shepherd mix (clearly someone's pet-- had a red and blue hankie on) running loose-- he was zig-zagging across the street dangerously, and it was clear he was on the lam. I followed him on my bike for as many blocks as I could, whistling, but he finally lost me, running into Fort Greene Park. He frankly looked like he was having the time of his life, but I know what it feels like to lose a pet, so I figured I would post in case anyone needs leads on a missing friend. He was probably about 30-40 lbs, seemed to have a collar on with the hankie, and I lost him at the Washington Park entrance to FGPark.

  • Got the email below from Fido earlier today...wonder if it's the same dog. If so, it's been on quite a journey. Hope it is reunited with the owners soon.

    Hi there,

    I'm writing to let somebody know about a dog that was seen running loose from the Bartel Pritchard Square entrance of Prospect Park. It was a shepherd-like dog - mostly brown with a black face. It had a collar with tags, so I'm hoping there's a phone number on there. A bunch of us tried to catch it, but he was moving fast. Last seen heading down Prospect Park West - we lost track of him at the post office.

    Just wanted to let somebody know in case somebody is looking for that dog and give them some kind of idea of where it was heading...hope he finds his way back home one way or another.

    Let me know if there's anything I can do to help. Sorry I don't have more information, but I figure any little bit helps.

  • how strange! Let's hope the story has a happy ending and he's having an Awesome Summer Adventure.

  • Just got another email about it--definitely the same dog. I sent the owner this link in case it helps.

  • Hey yall,

    She is very nice, but will bark when scared, but never bite. She is such a sweetheart and i really really wanna get her home.
