Rare Lowchen has been missing for four months
Janis and Bob McCormick are not giving up a four month effort to find their beloved dog named Zak. Zak hasn't been seen since April 15. That's when the McCormick's say someone took the small white dog out of the front yard of their Saratoga home.
They've offered rewards, posted fliers, hired pet detectives and a psychic, but still no sign of Zak. Now they have taken over a large billboard on Alum Rock Avenue begging for the dogs return and offering a $3,000 reward. The billboard will be up until the end of the week.
They are also plastering Zak's picture on the back of Santa Clara Valley Transportation Authority buses. The fliers will there for a month at a cost of $300 per bus. Zak is an 11-year-old rare Lowchen and has a brother back home in Saratoga.
The McCormicks say the only requirement to get the reward is to have the dog scanned at a shelter or vet's office to verify it really is Zak.
They obviously love that dog and they’re obviously good for the reward - Saratoga is a very nice area and billboards aren’t cheap. Hopefully they get the little guy back.
It’s interesting- Alum Rock isn’t exactly next door to Saratoga.
I lost my shepherd for 24 hours in New Orleans. I drove and cycled those streets for 22 of those 24 hours. When I finally gave up and returned home, and he was at my front porch waiting for me. One of the best days of my life.
Good luck and God speed to Zak and his owners.
I can easily imagine the sorrow and anxiety they feel. I hope they get Zak back.
Poor animals.
The rascal! Probably having a grand time while you were worried for him! I’m glad it turned out for the best.
