Not my dog. Lost classified posted on Craig's List




Our 5 year old border collie disappeared today and we are heartbroken. He was wearing his collar with his name and my number Seamus Canady. Please email me if you find him. The number is my cell phone and it only works in the US. The number on the collar is 804-380-8760. Thank you for your help.

One thing to note, if you ever lose your dog, leave something with your scent on it, like an old shirt, at the location you last saw the dog. Most of the time a dog will return and wait at that spot.

Headed that way today. Will stop at all coves and look.

Possible very sad news for you. I was just told from our friends who drove to Mulege and back that there is a dead black/white dog on the highway at Km. 80. They couldn't see if it was wearing a collar.
I'm so sorry.

This is terrible news, but I would rather endure the pain of bad news than forever wonder what happened.
I pray for the best.

I hope that the dog on the road is not your beloved companion.

Border collies are very smart - tops in IQ intelligence tests he/she may be exploring.

I wish you all the best.

.......what a shame.,even if the dog is only lost,,,

........Baja can be a -very- tough place for gringo-dogs!
.................piles of irresistable fish-guts
.................coyotes that quietly circle a camp,,then let-loose their -waiiiiil- all at once!
...............then you go for a 'break' in town,,,and those Baja-cats don't care to move when you chase 'em down,,,they just stare you in the eyes!!-humiliating!!!
............all seen through my dog's experience in baja:wow:

KM 86.1

just north of the Cadaje Bridge I and II and the turnout marking the border between Mulege and Loreto counties...

I found the dog's body mentioned by friends of Marla D. I stopped and walked back to the body. I cannot tell definitively that this dog is or is not the missing dog. Many things would lead one to believe it might be. It was a black long-haired collie-type dog with white markings and back feet. However, it did not have a collar and appeared to be a female, not male, dog. It appeared to have died several days ago.

I gently examined the body, and sent a prayer for this animals's spirit out over the Sea of Cortez as I moved its body over the guardrail and securely off the roadside. Had the collar been on the dog I'd have removed it for its owners.

I'll contact the people in the craigslist notice with my findings. To lose a beloved pet while traveling is a dreadful experience. I wish my findings were more conclusive, as I'm sure they want closure.

A heartfelt effort to assist with closure. Had to be difficult. Good try anyway.

There are remarkably kind and caring Baja Nomads. Going to find
and check out a dead dog in hopes of giving the owner closure is just one example. Thank you for your good work.

Sorry to ask but how was the dog lost? Always a big fear of mine. That is just past the turn to San Nicolas. Sorry for your loss.
