Default Lost dog near Regina

Late Friday night the girl watching my dog was traveling out to Regina when she was involved in a rollover. Apparently her truck hit an ice patch, and she rolled a few times into the ditch.

She's ok (just got out of the hospital) but my dog was in the vehicle. He was fine, but was apparently highly stressed. As soon as the vehicle door was opened he bolted and ran.

The last 2 days a ton of people have been out looking for him, but there has only been one sighting (he was running through a field) so he's out there somewhere. It's getting colder out, but I'm not too worried about that at this point. He's a pretty tough breed of dog.

I know it's a long shot, but if ANYONE is traveling to or from Regina this weekend PLEASE keep an eye out for him on or near the highway. He's a white Jack Russel Terrier, 14" at the withers, and will respond to "Nelson" or to high whistles (he's trained to stop when he hears them). He's extremely friendly, loves people, but might at this point still be spooked.

I LOVE MY DOG!

Thanks everyone. I'm stuck in Beijing right now, so I feel pretty helpless. Everyone back home is really upset, hoping he turns up somewhere.....

The terrier grin is probably one of the all-time best canine traits. I hope you find him soon.

I wish I could help you.

He will probably eventually get hungry and will likely seek out humans. Does he have tags or a tatoo?

He has tags, but I don't know if he had his collar on. He does have an ear tatoo and a chip, so if he turns up at an SPCA we should be good. I've already registered him there, put in newspaper ads, and posted in kijiji and craigslist.

Not too much we can do but wait at this point.

Hope it all turns out well for you.

BTW: where's the dogs "home"? Regina?

...any chance he'd find his way back home or was he travelling from Calgary?


....Anyway, best of luck to you.

Holy shat. I was totally preparing for the worst. Apparently you have a 20% chance of finding your dog ever again if he's lost.

He was scavenging in a gravel pit when someone that was out looking for him found him. He's hungry, a little tired, but totally fine.

This has restored my faith in humanity. My thanks goes out to small town Pilot Butte and their surrounding people, and all the effort that they put in to find my little man. I was giving up hope, but I CANNOT BELIEVE how much random strangers cared about the plight of some strangers they don't even know. I cannot even BEGIN to describe how thankful I am right now. Offers to put people up for the night over thanksgiving, tireless searches, offers to help, smalltown sasky really is amazing.

This is really one of the best days of my life. I'm on a 12 hour flight to Sydney, Australia this afternoon and I feel like celebrating!!!!!!!
