Lost Dog near Barnesville

[nofishfisherman]

Just thought I'd pass this along in case anyone will be traveling along 94 (near Barnesville) in the next couple days.

The breeder who I got my vizsla from is helping in the search for a missing Vizsla named Huck. Huck and his owner were on 94 near Barnesville when a couple deer ran onto the road. The car ended up flipping several times while avoiding the deer. After the accident Huck ran off into the fields. His owner is banged up but will be fine, he's just worried about his dog.

Here are two pictures of Huck from the breeders website with details. Huck was sighted still in the area and appears to be unhurt. If you are in the Barnesville area just keep your eyes open for a stray Vizsla. The animal shelters in the area as well as local police are aware of him so if you find him just call any of them. Huck is tagged and microchipped so getting him home should be easy after that.

Mark Michaels, a TCVC Member, was in a car accident Monday

morning (October 18) around 5am. He swerved to avoid two deer,

over corrected, this sent him into the ditch, across oncoming traffic and

he rolled his Explorer twice before he stopped in the ditch. He was

heading west on 94. The accident was 14 miles east of Fargo, around

the Barnesville area and Downer exit.

Mark's Vizsla, Huck, was with him. After the truck stopped, Huck

came and sat by Mark, after a few minutes Huck jumped out of a

smashed window and ran into a field. Mark climbed out of the window

to find Huck and saw him and then heard him yelp. There was a barb

wired fence in the area that he was around when Mark saw him. The

State Patrol did not allow Mark to follow hunt, as they took him to the

hospital. Mark received 20 staples and 10 stitches in his head and has

a huge gash on his arm.

After, he went back to the accident scene to look for Huck. They have

not seen him since the accident. Huck will be on the Fargo news at 6

& 10pm tonight to help in search of him. Here is a link to one of the

TV stations coverage. They spent a half day with Mark today

searching for Huck.

Huck is a 2-year-old Vizsla, stands about 24.5" at the withers and

weighs between 55-60 pounds. He is a nice dark red and has nice

solid bone. He is very sweet and would go with a stranger if

approached nicely. We are sure that he is very shocked right now from

the accident and missing Mark.

Huck is wearing a leather hunting collar, on it is an ID tag with contact

information. He is also micro chipped and Home Again has been made

aware that he is missing. The police force in Clay County and the

Fargo area are aware of his missing. As are the local pounds.

If you hear or know of anyone who has seen a Vizsla in the

Fargo/Moorhead area, please let us know. Kathy Rust is also in this

area and has offered to bring dogs to help in the search if there is a

sighting.

If you know of anyone in the area, please pass this information onto

them. We need to find Huck and bring him home safe. It is a busy

hunting time, so if you see, hear or someone you know heard of a found

dog, please let us know so we can check if it is Huck. Mark can be

reached at 952-201-2919, I can be reached at 612-508-5965 if you

have any additional questions.

For those of you farther away, please forward to anyone you may

know in the area, prayers for Huck's safe return, quickly will also be

appreciated.

Thank You,

Huck has been found. He had made his way to a farm and was hanging out in the barn with a couple of collies.

Sounds like he was happy and healthy.
