Nickz writes in Comments that the dog has been reunited with its owner:
We are the neighbors of the people who found the dog. The owner contacted them and was reunited with the dog the same night it was found. The owner was house-sitting for his daughter on 78th St. It was a 13 year-old Wheaton Terrier. The owner could not figure out how he got out - he is apparently quite the escape artist.
By the way - the dog had a chip, which we took to the 24 hr. vet on Stone Way to get ID’d. However, the chip had no information attached to it. Please remember to send in the info once you get your dog’s chip implanted! In this case, the breeder said the info was sent in, but it obviously never was.
Kathy sent us this note:
I’m hoping you can post a lost dog notice on the blog. His tag says his name is Riley, and the address lists Woodinville. He’s an off-white, golden labra-doodle type mix.
We found him today on the 500 block of N. 79th. We are locking him in the garage overnight and will call the Humane Society in the morning, as our yard has no fence and we have two dogs.
Inquiries can be sent to jvasen@gmail.com or (206) 334-3661.

Uh, if his tag has an address, can’t you Google it to find the owner? Hope it works out.

He looks like a Wheaton terrier to me… you might check Craigslist for lost dogs that are either golden/labradoodles or Wheaton terriers - might have more luck!

Any vet has the ability to scan his microchip, so you could take it to the nearest vet and go from there. Or, since you live in Seattle, you could just call animal control (386-PETS) to come and pick him up. The first thing they will do when they get him to the shelter is scan him for a chip and if he has one, contact his owners. If he doesn’t they will put him on the found dog hotline which hopefully his owners will call.

I recently saw the lost dog sign that may match this guy, I just can’t remember where, (somewhere in the 65th and 8th vicinity) I’ll go see if I can find it today, and call the owner if this is the right dog.

Man, I walked all around… but I can’t find this sign. I know I saw it walking my dog, or stopped at a light in my car, somewhere in the Ballard, Phinney or Greenwood neighborhoods in the last couple of days. Wish I could remember, I hope his owners find him.
