Echo Park resident David found this adorable dog last week on Sargent Place north of Scott. He’s hoping to find the owner soon!

I’m calling him Buddy.

I found him on Monday, January 17 on Sargent Place near the roundabout. I assume he was wandering in Elysian Park. He fell in with my three other dogs. No collar. He backed away when I tried to touch him, but followed us home. He had some scars and is still quite skinny. I took him to the vet and he had no chip, so I had him brought up to date on his shots and also had him fixed. He weighs 46 pounds and is about 16-18 inches tall at the shoulder. The vet says he looks to be about 2 or 3 years old. He is recuperating well from the surgery but if you know him or who he belongs to, I would like to return him to his owner–if, in fact, he pulled a Houdini and was lost, rather than dumped in Elysian Park.
