A local no-kill group in my area sent out an email about a lost dachshund/basset hound mix. She was half of a bonded pair who had recently been adopted. When the new owners took them out for a walk, something spooked Mable and she ran and ripped the leash out of her owner's hand.
I sent out an email to many of my animal-loving friends in the area; one of whom also passed it along to others. Sadly, one emailed back saying she thought she saw the dog in the very area she had gone missing but it wasn't a happy ending. :( As much as I hope that the dog this lady saw wasn't Mable, there were too many similiarities in her description for it not to have been.
I passed along her email to the shelter and am waiting to hear back. I'm hoping that it wasn't Mable and there is still a chance for a happy ending but my gut tells me that isn't so. And my heart hurts. :sad1:
