$5,000 REWARD FOR SAFE RETURN OF BAM BAM Bam Bam is a 9-year-old Alaskan Malamute with epilepsy and alopecia. He needs his epilepsy to survive. He wandered off from home (13626 Foulk Rd.) around 6 p.m. on Thursday, Aug. 27. The AirTag attached to his collar pinged his location at 3838 Tama Rd. (1/4 mile away) at 6:15 p.m., and he was spotted on the shoulder of Tama Rd. by the Mud Creek Bridge by a driver at 6:18 p.m. The farmer who lives at 3838 Tama Rd. confirmed seeing him in his yard, said his two dogs chased Bam Bam into his grove of trees, and that he never saw him after that. Bam Bam's AirTag later pinged just to the south of the Tama Rd./Cotter Rd. intersection at 6:55 p.m. That was the last time his location (or his collar's location) updated. The farmer's son lives in the home just to the south of the Tama/Cotter Rd. intersection. The collar was later discovered 1/2 mile south of Tama Rd. on Cotter Rd. on Saturday at 11:30 a.m. It was on the gravel shoulder of the road up against the concrete lip of a culvert. The collar was still clipped together, no damage, no blood stains, tight enough so it wouldn't slip off Bam Bam's head, and there was nothing in the area for it to catch on and be pulled off. It was removed by a person and buckled back together by a person. It's been almost 5 days now since Bam Bam wandered off, and he is so missed. If you were traveling Tama Rd. just a few miles west of La Porte City between 6-7 p.m. on Thursday, Aug. 27, I would love to speak with you. My cell is. You are so loved, Bam Bam. We will find you.
