A small black and white dog ran away after a car accident just south of the Surrey Summit sign on the Coquihalla Highway. The accident occurred yesterday, March 22, at 17:00. The dog is about 27 pounds, looks like a small Border Collie, and answers to the name Whitney. She has a tuxedo chest, a green collar, and a tattoo in her ear: 1945ACJZ.
I just spoke with the owner, who was still searching the area with her daughter. She will send a photo of the dog as soon as she can get to her computer.
She reported that someone saw Whitney today at 10:30 a.m. but the dog would not come when called. She left Whitney's crate at the accident scene overnight, along with clothing items, and there were tracks around the crate this morning.
Thanks to Kecia Turunen for gathering information earlier today and reporting it via the Kamloops 8100 Radio Station Facebook page.
I drove down Surrey Lake Road this afternoon, which goes under the Coquihalla Highway close to the accident scene. I walked around the Desmond Lake area where I saw tracks. Any help searching the area tomorrow would be appreciated. I'll report any updates here.
If you have any information please contact the owner. (250) 682-5371. and post any updates to the blog.
UPDATE: Whitney was found! The owner spotted her this morning (Saturday, March 24) on the other side of the highway. Whitney came when called and seems to be in good shape.
