O.k., it was bound to happen. Someone I know has lost a dog in Portland, and has asked for the help of this blog in retrieving her. Er... why not?

The dog's name is Sky, and that's her picture over on the right. She was last seen Sunday at 1:30 p.m. at North Chautauqua and Chase. Sky is about 2 years old, about 40 pounds, black, with a longish tail and Rottweiler markings. She is wearing a black collar with yellow reflector, tags, and a light hanging off the collar. She has a cattle dog/blue heeler kind of gait, and she is very afraid of people.

If you have any information about her -- even if you just see her from afar -- please call Steph at (503) 860-6596. A reward is being offered for her safe return. Thanks.
