Hi everybody, thank you for the shares and comments and for caring. Bandito was a little puppy from the litter of 11 beautiful puppies that I am raising. We realized he was missing on Friday, last seen sleeping under the deck with his litter mates. We live at the end of a street where houses are spread far apart, next to a creek canyon, surrounded by many acres of thick forest with no cut paths or trails, some areas are impenetrable shrubs, and others are fallen trees stacked on top of each other, with many ditches and muddy areas, or the steep creek canyon with loose rocks. The puppies are curious and adventurous and try to wonder off, but it’s not easy for a little puppy to get far. There is no traffic around here, hardly anybody comes by, it’s unlikely that he was taken by a stranger. There is a possibility that he was stolen by someone we know, we have a suspect in mind, whom of course, denied it upon being confronted. But there is a good reason why we think he might have done this, and we might be able to find some evidence of it over time, though time will tell. However, the sad reality is that the likeliness of him falling prey to a predator is much greater. My husband and I have been searching for him for 6 days and 5 nights, tirelessly combing through the forest and the creek, calling him and hoping we would hear his crying and bring him home safely. But yesterday I saw a big coyote across the street in the morning, and later in the afternoon one of our big dog, the dad chased a bear away. There are also eagles nesting nearby. Under the circumstances, it’s unlikely that we would find him alive, we have given up the search and now we must focus on protecting the other puppies. It’s heartbreaking to think that he might have suffered falling prey or perished from dehydration and hunger, I do wish and hope that he was stolen from us, I can take a loss like that a lot more easily. If anyone living in the area would spot a young dog with the unique eyepatches, freckled ears on a snow white body, I would love to know. Thank you all for caring.

Dyanne Jack just disappeared from our backyard. The last time I saw him he was napping with his litter mates under the deck in their dog house.

Helping lost dogs across Canada my contact number is 672-382-1600. At this time, sadly, I don’t believe that Bandito would be found alive. There is a possibility that he was stolen, I wish that to be true. But the likeliness of him falling prey to a predator is greater, due to the location of our backyard. Thank you for your offer, though.

No, he is just a little puppy from the litter I am raising. He went missing from my backyard.
