Message from Owner

I don’t even know how to put into words what these last few days have felt like. My old boy, Kavik, is still missing. I brought Kavik home when he was just 6 weeks old, and now he is 14 years old. For almost 14 years, he has been by my side through so many different chapters of my life. He has watched me grow, watched our family grow, and has been there through some of my happiest days and some of my hardest ones. He isn’t “just a dog” to me. Kavik is my soul dog. He’s the kind of dog you get once in a lifetime. The one who knows you without you having to say a word. The one whose presence becomes such a normal part of your life that you can’t imagine your home—or yourself—without him in it. I always knew that someday I would have to say goodbye to my old boy. I just never imagined it could be like this. Not knowing where he is, whether he’s scared, whether he’s hurt, whether he’s trying to find his way back home… it is absolutely breaking me. At 14 years old, he should be home. He should be sleeping in his favorite spot, surrounded by the people who have loved him his entire life. I just want the chance to bring my boy home and hold him again. Kavik, if somehow love alone could guide you home, you would already be standing at our door. I hope you know your mom is looking for you. I hope you know I will keep looking. I hope you know how incredibly loved you are. 14 years will never be enough. Please keep sharing his picture. Please keep looking in your yards, fields, woods, barns, sheds, garages, cameras—anywhere an old dog might have wandered or taken shelter. Someone, somewhere may have seen him and not realize just how desperately his family is searching for him.Please help me bring my soul dog home. Come home, Kavik. Mom is waiting for you.

Jan Marie that is a good point! There have been many mennonite families that started moving to this area and Im sure most of them are not on social media...and even if they are they wont be subscribing to pet finding posts. I live on old 22 and so far nothing. I feel for this guy😞

You should post this on one of the Hamburg Community pages on FB you should call the Hamburg police and any animal shelters in that area because that's what someone would do with that dog if he's not chipped is turn him over to the police or a shelter where he can be easily found. I never understand how these things happen, not trying to be judgmental but I've had German Shepherds and if I call them they come to me no matter how much fun they're having they don't take off for I can't catch them they always come back but your dog might be lost or sick and I hope you find him well and healthy it's very heartbreaking I know I would not have even left the area without my dog! If I had a camp there till that dog came back that's what I would have done but that's just me I know not everyone can do that. Again good luck and prayers for his safe return

Has the owner posted flyers along the roads/at intersections? In businesses, handed flyers out in at least a two mile radius? Not everyone is on social media.
