Griffy and His Plight

On Saturdays for the last four years, Griffy has been dutifully serving as the official greeter at the Annandale Pet Spa, on John Marr Drive. Yep, those of you that take your canine and feline companions to the Spa on Saturdays -- that happy, friendly little guy that can often be seen sitting right on the counter is the one that is now lost. His whereabouts have been unknown since the car he was riding in was sideswiped, late in the evening of Friday, January 22nd. He vanished into thin air when his mom was talking to the person that pulled out in front of her when there was little room on the road to avoid him.

Trying not to picture him cold, hungry, alone and confused, Gail would set out every day, for nine straight days following the accident, trying to find him and to spread the word in the area that anyone seeing a scruffy little 18 lb ragamuffin should call her immediately. She's been finding that many of her fliers are being torn down soon after she puts them up. We need to find new ways to spread the word if fliers in the immediate area aren't going to work.

Can you do anything to help Annandale learn about Griffy and his plight? As far as we know and until we learn otherwise, we assume that he could be still somewhere nearby -- hiding in woods, in bushes and under decks, not wanting to ask for help, and in his confusion and his little doggie mind, assuming that people he sees that are not his mom must not be able to help him him find her. His collar and ID tags were secure at the time that he disappeared, so we expect he still has them. We think that the reason no one has called to say they have seen him is not because they haven't, but because they don't know who to call. Using the "six degrees" theory, can you push the word out to enough people that you know that live, work or travel in Annandale -- or further out than that -- that it will reach people that are seeing him somewhere?
