A wandering pup with a penchant for adventure was picked up on Sandpiper Drive, according to the Mankato Police and Fire's Facebook page. The male pit bull mix, sporting a white and tan coat and a black patterned collar, seems to have lost his way. With not a tag in sight or a microchip beneath his fur, he has become a temporary ward of the Blue Earth County.
Reportedly found in the 100 blocks of this residential neighborhood, it's unclear how long the friendly canine was on the lam. With no identifiers to bring him swiftly back to his family, Blue Earth County Dispatch is now the first line of contact for hopeful owners seeking to reclaim their lost companion. Found with a collar but no tags, the pitbull mix might've been on an unsupervised stroll that went a bit too far from home.
The Facebook post, dating from the early hours of February 4th, offers a beacon of hope to anyone missing their four-legged friend. Liaisons at Blue Earth County Dispatch are listening for that eager voice on the other end of the line, a voice belonging to someone who has looked into that mismatched collar and seen a piece of home. "Male pitbull mix, white/tan in color, found," the social media plea begins in earnest, aiming to spark recognition in the hearts of those searching.
Reuniting this lonely pooch with his owners is the top priority, and community members are encouraged to spread the word. If you, or someone you know, has been missing a pet that matches the description, the dispatch at Blue Earth County can be reached at (507) 387-8725.
