CUMBERLAND – An Alaska Street family in the Monastery Heights neighborhood of town has been searching for their dachshund Charlie for nearly a week, and they say sightings show he might be getting closer to home.
Kathy Williams is asking anyone who sees Charlie, age 8 and weighing in at 25 pounds, not to try to capture, chase, or call out to the dog, but to call the family at 401-365-3921.
Charlie got spooked and took off running through the back yard, and is still believed to be very skittish.
There were at least two reports on Tuesday of Charlie in the area of Hines Road, meaning he could be working his way back home, said the family. Charlie is wearing a blue checked collar.
Missing Dogs Massachusetts and many Cumberland residents are helping with the search.
