Thanks you guys! I did get an email from Linda. And unfortunately, it wasn't Pickle.
At least my message is still spreading. For that, I am thankful.
And it sounds like Happy is in good hands.
I just pray my Pickle is in just as good of care.
Keeping the faith,
Amy

Amy, each time I see that you posted, I hope it is to say that Pickle has been found alive and well. I am keeping up the faith for you! I know how
sad and worried I would be if my Coco was out there lost somewhere. Be positive!
Whenever I hear that rainy, chill wind blow. I think it may be time to head for Mexico. Tengo que obedecer mi corazon!

Dog Lost in Baja California
http://www.surfline.com/surf-news/letter-of-the-week/dog-los...
January 26, 2010
After living in Cabo/San Jose del Cabo the past 8 years, my husband (an avid surfer) and I decided we needed to move back to San Diego for a job
opportunity. This wasn't an easy decision but nonetheless, it had to be done. So we packed up the car with our stuff, as well as our friend's van with
our 3 beloved dogs and headed north on January 2nd. Our friend, Paul "DD" Robinson, is a shaper from Idaho and was heading up to get supplies and
shape some boards for his friends back in Cabo. On day two (January 3rd), the car that Paul was towing with his van, got a flat tire which caused him
to lose control of the cars and roll 2 1/2 times off the side of the road. Thankfully, no one was badly injured (a couple of scrapes and bruises and
two totaled cars) but in all the trauma, we could not recover one of our dogs. A witness saw him run across the highway into the desert like a racing
dog. But after searching for hours and days, we could not find Pickle. We have been so heartbroken and I feel I have lost a member of our family. It's
been over 3 weeks now and I have not heard anything from any of the posts I have made on the various Baja websites or from the flyers that friends and
strangers have posted along the area. I feel he is out there somewhere and I am hoping someone on their Baja adventures just might find him.
Here are the details:
The accident was on Highway 1 at km 224 1/2, 55 km north of the Bay of LA turnoff, in the Punta Prieta/Chapala/El Pedregoso/Cataviña area. He was last
seen running from the east side across the highway to the west into the desert. But he could be anywhere, including a ranch. I am offering a reward
for his return or any information someone might have about him. He is such a sweet dog but I know he is so scared and alone.

Great idea, Gypsy Jan...I added a postscript to my Tecate - Mulege Trip report. No sign of Pickles yet, but hope remains.
I do what the voices in my tackle box tell me.

Confession - We Are Suckers for Dogs
I just really feel for Amy and her family, just because of a turn (turnover?) of fate.
I continue to root for a happy ending to this story.
Edited for bad sentence construction.

stopping and looking around for her. Ron and Patty

Sorry, I didn't mean to call Pickle a "her." I know he is a male. Ron

Sorry Amy. I kept an eye out for Pickles today. He was in my mind the whole time I passed through the area where he was lost.
 I know he is out there somewhere and I am sad.

Thank you toneart, absinvestor, Gypsy Jan and Pompano! You Nomads are an awesome bunch!
I am still getting messages from perfect strangers with their similar stories with happy endings.
I will stay hopeful.
Safe travels to everyone out there!
And thank you for your search efforts. Pickle will be found!

searching hours and days.
His name is Pickle. He is a tan lab/great dane mix. He is very friendly, but I'm sure very scared. He was wearing a collar with a tag that had our
numbers on it; both U.S. and Mexico. He was last seen by a witness, running west into the desert at km 224 1/2.
The reward is currently $300 usd, but I am willing to do what it takes to get back my sweet boy.
If anyone has seen him or knows of anything, please let me know.

Thank you,
Amy & Ryan
(This is the same incident that Fairbanks47 posted about)

Whoa! I imagine everyone is looking for a happy ending. But, unless you know something that I don't, we're all still waiting. Hoping.

Sorry everyone. It wasn't Pickle
It was a very sweet looking, more lab-ish, lighter color, younger dog.
Please keep looking!
This was the first close call I've had.
Positive thinking & momentum!
Thank you, thank you!
Pickle's mom
