Lost Dog on HWY127 Reunited with His Owner

When dogs get lost out at Dumont, we sometimes never hear what happen to them. This dog, however, has a different story.

One warm afternoon he was spotted by Cecilia, a woman traveling down HWY 127 on her way back home to San Diego. The dog, Hawkeye, was out there for days. He was wandering near the road in a state of confusion.

Cecilia rescued him and put him up in her truck. His paws had signs of burns from the hot asphalt. She looked for a collar or tag, but there wasn't one. So she quickly snapped a pic and turned to social media in hopes of finding his owner. She didn't hear anything at first, but the word spread like wildfire. Eventually she found the owner. Brian, a resident from Pahrump, had been in a rollover accident on HWY127 and Hawkeye was thrown from the vehicle. The dog was obviously in shock and had gotten lost when he ran from the scene.

Cecilia and Brian made arrangements for him to return home. Brian's car was totaled from the accident, but luckily him and Hawkeye were ok.

It's good to see people helping people and that things turned happy in the end. Great job, Cecilia!
