Please everyone say a prayer for my friend Abbey. Her dog Uno went missing yesterday from the dog sitter's.

He is a well-trained agility dog, and they thought he would come right home but he is running scared.

Info from my friend below:
"UNO is lost. He bolted out the front door of the dog sitter's place mid-afternoon today (10/28). We have had numerous sightings of him and he seems to be staying in one general area. He is in the Maxtown /Sunbury Rd intersection area. It appears that he has crossed Sunbury Road back and forth at least a couple of times. The most recent sightings were in the park and bike paths of the subdivision off of Spring Hill Rd just north of Maxtown road - the subdivision closest to Sunbury road. He has been running panicked for at least a couple hours this afternoon. We are hoping he has bedded down for the night and will be out at daybreak to try to find him. Flyers are being posted and distributed tonight. One of the folks saw him cross the road a couple times and said he is being car-smart, so hopefully he will be fine in that regard. We are holding up and focusing on getting him back for now, with a few extremely upset moments here and there.

He IS microchipped and I will call the agency tomorrow and verify they have him on record. He is wearing a collar but due to a car switch not the one with his ID tags on it - that collar is in the car that is undergoing repairs. Some of the local police agencies have been notified. Tomorrow we will make sure all the local shelters, etc., have been notified. Someone has very kindly offered to call the local vets."

I have to go to work this morning but my husband is going to go help.

Make smaller copies of your lost poster to give to local delivery type people and the police. Talk to everyone in the area you see while putting up posters. It was a Godsend when one of the little rescues bolted and we were able to get her back in 2 days. A police officer sighted her and her foster mom went to the area before light of day. I pray that you get your little sheltie back soon.
 
I sent the info to the K9AmberAlert yahoo group. I get emails from them several times a day with missing & found dog info. It would be nice to have a contact number or email to share any sightings. You might also post on the www.helpinglostpets.com website. I did that when my sheltie, Dixie, got out.

Keeping my fingers crossed that Uno returns home safely & soon.
 
Praying for Uno's safety and quick return. (also, praying for your friend, Abbey)

God, please direct Uno's path to his loved ones. I thank you Lord.
 
Uno is home!

Guess what? Uno is home!

We went out looking again last night (the dog community is amazing! There were about 30 people out driving around and walking in the freeziing rain) and he was found at 9:15.

He was completely exhausted and just couldn't run anymore. He is covered in mud and burs, was limping and had been skunked, but he is healthy.

I am so happy for my friend. Today it has been snowing all morning, I'm glad he isn't outside in this.

Thanks for all your prayers!
 
Great news!!!! Way to go to all the people who helped find him, it is very beautiful when people come together to help others.
 
Thought I saw on FB he had been found. I am so glad to hear he is home so quickly and doing well. Hugs to all involved.
 
Poor pup the skunking might be what made him hide. Hopefully he is getting dry, debarred, deskunked and spoiled right now
 
That is wonderful news! Safe but stinky is great. You can always fix skunk smell but I would hug Uno tight anyway!!
