Lost & Found: Service Dog "Bella"

On Wednesday, November 12, 2014...

If you happen to be out hiking in the Salmon River State Forest, anywhere from the Day Pond State Park, Route 149  in Westchester to the Comstock Bridge, Route 16 (East Hampton) area, please keep an eye out for "Bella".

She's a black, grey and white Siberian Husky with brown eyes, and has a service dog ID tag attached to her collar.

Bella was lost on Wednesday, November 12, 2014 while out on a walk.

If you see Bella or are able to bring her home, please contact Christin at 860-574-4117. 

UPDATE:  Sunday, November 16, 2014...

After several days of searching for "Bella", a passing motorist had observed a dog wandering along the busy section of Route 149 in the area of the Westchester Plaza, and had recognized her from one of the many posters that had been placed in store windows.

The unidentified Good Samaritan was able to coax Bella into their vehicle, and then immediately called Christin on her cell phone to arrange the VERY happy reunion!

Bella had originally gone missing after a 6-mile hike at the Salmon River State Forest, and had darted away just as Christin was putting her into the car to leave the Day Pond State Park to head home.
