Prayers for this sweet pup's safe return.

Of course, being a rottiemaniac, this hits close to home. I hope this poor dog doesn't come across an idiot with a grudge against the breed or some yutz who thinks and older dog might be a good sparring partner for his fighting dog.

Hi RepoGirl,

Yes, those are some of our worst fears. But I understand the locals in the area have been really great about it, and really understanding. Many volunteers have been out going from door to door to get the word out that this is a very special dog.

I guess the only jerk about things (up to now) has been the local animal control officer, who hasn't wanted the volunteers' help. Nor their ideas...

The search for Smooth continues. Here's an update from the blog:

"I did get a call this morning from a very kind lady who has seen Smooth several times. It was reassuring to learn that she lives just about 2 blocks from the new trap site. She said she wakes in the night and thinks about Smooth and the people looking for her. The kindness of the people in the area is almost overwhelming at times, and greatly appreciated.

There will be a new story in the newspaper tomorrow. They will probably get it online by 9 or 10, keep checking www.southernillinoisan.com
