Bambi - STILL MISSING - From Semi Accident on the Turnpike

Bambi was thrown from a burning Semi on the turnpike on Thursday morning after the truck flipped and burst into flames. Her sister dog, Ruby, was found near Elizabeth Scott on Albon Rd. near where the accident happened... but little Bambi is still missing. She is a 17 pound Chihuahua/Besenji mix and is tan & white. She has a red collar on but no tags (allergic to metal). Her owners had to go back to Wisconsin but there is a very large group of people who are continuing the search for Bambi.

She is very friendly and should come to someone if they are patient with her... she is probably very scared. Her owner said she responds to "Bam", "Bambi" and "Go Bye byes". If you spot her please call one of the searchers right away!!!! Try to keep her in your sight until others get there. The most important thing is to call the sighting in as quickly as possible and give as much detail as possible - where, which direction she was headed, etc.

***DO NOT CHASE HER*** The best way to catch a lost dog is to lure them to you... not to chase them. Treats (hot dogs, cheese, stinky soft dog food), soft talking, and sitting/lying on the ground are much more effective. Getting down to their level is less threatening than standing. If you have a dog with you, sometimes it helps to actually turn your back to the lost dog and give your dog A LOT of attention...

ANYONE with information please call immediately. If you see her, the searchers need to know as soon as possible after the sighting so they can get out there before she moves on. Call anytime - day or night.

SHE MAY HAVE BEEN PICKED UP AND THE PERSON DOESN'T REALIZE SHE IS THE DOG WE ARE LOOKING FOR! If you have picked up a dog recently that looks like Bambi please call!!!! Her family misses her terribly!!!

Helen - 419-213-0172
Linda - 419-460-0097
Karen - 419-304-2787

Areas we are searching are The Quarry subdivision, MacQueens Orchard, Salisbury Rd., Holloway Rd., Garden Rd., Perrysburg-Holland, Heatherdowns... anywhere along the turnpike.... But please call even if you see a dog that looks like her in any other area. She could be further away by now. Or she may be sticking in the area where the accident happened. That is the last place she associates with her Dad and her sister dog, and their scents are still in that area.

I hope she's okay. Are they sure she didn't perish in the fire? Unusual for a dog to run away from its family during such a crisis. If she has no collar, I would definitely watch out for it at the dog pound. In any event, I live in the area and I will keep my eyes peeled.

She has on a red collar but no tags and is microchipped. Many of the animal welfare agencies in the area have been notified along with flyers posted all over and put in paperboxes. The owners were here this past week searching. A gal from the animal shelter has been organizing the search and doing a great job of it. Please go to Facebook and check out the page.

Oh and she did not perish in the fire. Corey, her owner, threw both dogs out of the truck before getting out himself.

Bambi was spotted yesterday late afternoon behind Brandywine golf course. There are searchers out there this morning.

I really hope they find her. She has got to be scared out of her mind.
