I keep checking this thread hoping there is news. Hoping her dog is home.

Unfortunately no News yet. Some people around the neighborhood said they saw him running through the neighborhood sometime during the day with a little boy. Now.... they said he looks like another dog from the neighborhood. So it is not for sure it was him they saw. We been out several times posting fliers and looking for him and hoping to see him wandering or see that little boy with the dog...but nothing. The day has been ugly raining and clowdy and barely anyone outside.
On the other hand I have to go drop my mom off to Chicago airport tomorrow..and I won't be back until late afternoon. My kids are going to school so no one to look for him in the morning . I gave them some fliers to hand out to the kids at school or at the school bus stop. I am so hoping he is in the area.

Thanks everyone on TE for the support

put his favorite food in his dish and put it outside. You may get some unwanted guests but if he is near, he will come back.

Or put his favorite bedding or family members stinky sock by the door. If you have been living for several years at your current location, he shouldn't stray too far.

Nearly 30 years ago, my cat pushed out a screen and went out for a while. I camped out in my backyard for about a week. During the day while I was at work, I left my stinky/sweaty shirt, socks... shoes outside. Then he showed up around 5:0AM one morning. He lived a happy long life. Mr. Cat died of very old age in my arm.

I second the suggestion to call Animal Control every day. I find strays all the time - in one case I called A/C several times during the course of a week - and so did the dog's owner - it took A WEEK before someone put two and two together and realized the dog I had belonged to the lady missing a dog of the same description. This dog even had a bright green collar (no tags) and they STILL didn't put it together.
Call. Or go down there. Every day. Leave flyers there, too.

Hang in there. I know I would be frantic if one of my girls were missing.

Hoping today will bring your little guy home! ((((((hugs))))))) do not give up hope!

I would put fliers out all over the neighborhood; and start going door to door in the near vicinity talking to people to see if they have seen your dog.

I don't have anything to add to the excellent suggestions everyone has made, just wanted to lend my support...I can only imagine how you are feeling and pray that you will soon be reporting good news on this thread. The one time our elderly Boston Terrier went missing, on a dark and rainy night, she turned up at a neighbor's just down the road about 1/2 a mile. She slipped out of her harness/leash on her nightly walk as she'd gotten so thin and we had neglected to tighten it up. I think she got disoriented since she was partly blind and deaf and thus couldn't find her way back to our house.

I was in a complete panic, but it ended just fine. Don't give up!
