Lost boxer in Columbus area

So on Monday, I picked CeCe up from boarding at Second Avenue Animal Hospital and noticed flyers for a lost dog named Bain (pictured above.)

Today a colleague forwarded me an e-mail about Bain and his story. Apparently he escaped from Second Ave...

So please keep an eye out! Especially those in the Bibb City area. Here's what the e-mail said:

Animal Hospital Loses Family Dog, $500 reward announced

COLUMBUS, GA, 2-22-09)—Like many families the Krieg’s took their beloved dog, Bain to an animal hospital for boarding while they were out of town. Upon their return they found out that Bain was lost at 1:30am on Sunday, February 22nd from the 2nd Avenue Animal Hospital.

The Animal Hospital did not properly secure the dog, who pushed through an unlocked door and set off the burglar alarm notifying the owner and police. When authorities arrived at the scene the owner opened the hospital door letting the adult, male boxer loose in the streets of Columbus.

For 12 hours the staff at the Animal Hospital looked for the dog before calling the owners. Search parties remained out all day Monday talking to neighbors and putting up flyers. The 2nd Avenue Animal Hospital is offering a $500 reward for the return of the Boxer, Bain.

If you have any idea of his whereabouts, please contact Angie LeFranc at 706.888.2661.
