On 12/27/09 around 2:30pm, my dogs escaped from my fenced backyard. They are Miniture Schnauzer's. One is male, Tucker, and he is about 22 pounds. The other female, Lucy, is about 15 pounds. They are both gray and black. It is soooo cold and I am very worried. They like to bark but are very friendly dogs. We drove around Miles City for 6 hours looking for them without luck. They did have collars on with their names and my phone number as well. If anyone sees them or hears anything please call me at 853-0661 or 951-0375.

...any chance this could turn into another "Brandy and Shy" story?...hope it doesn't take 3 months this time.

Best of luck, hope you find your dogs.

We called you earlier.

We saw the 2 dogs in question directly across from the Yellowstone Tavern yesterday afternoon.

About the 3 - 3:30 pm time frame.

Thank you all for helping and for the information. I had one dog, Tucker, returned to me today. He was still in the Valley Dr East area. We continued with our search party for the other and have turned up empty handed. Please keep your eye out for Lucy. They are litter mates even though their is a huge size difference and they have never known life apart. Tucker was unharmed, cold and a bit shook up. Thank you, thank you, thank you to all who have had spottings and kept me informed. 853-0661

So sorry Jessie. We will keep looking!

I'm pretty sure i saw your lost dog on Leighton like two blocks or so west of the tracks this afternoon about 2:45 or so.

WOW! Thank you all again for all your help. Lucy has been returned home now. She is very cold, wet, and stinky; but, seems Happy to be back for sure. We are happy to have her back too. She was found by Sacred Heart. Thank you, everyone!

This is an example of milescity.com at its best. No arguing or trying to get the last word in just 7 posts and a family and dogs are reunited. My hats off to everyone who helped and looked, thank you all for showing the best Miles City can be.

Great post, Steve! And I agree.

Jessie - Glad both of your critters are home safe and sound and warm. Happy endings are the best!

Happy New Year, everyone.
