“Our very sweet cat, Henry, escaped from our house either last night or this early morning. He escaped from Elliott St. NE and we are frantically trying to find him. He is an orange cat who is very nice and approachable, but he is not wearing a collar. If anyone sees him, we are asking that they call (301) 785-8505, (574) 309-1271, or (301) 385-9755.”

“Dear PoPville,
Thursday night my Maltipoo puppy, Bently, and I were taking our usual evening stroll when we were attacked by a black Pitbull, Reo. The dog was off-leash and ran down Kilbourne from 18th towards 19th where he sank into little Bentlys ear and started to toss him about. When he went in for Bently’s neck he ended up biting both Bently’s neck and my hand and started to drag us into the street as I gushed blood and tried my hardest to shield my puppy’s neck which he kept trying to snap.
The owner was absent in this until a neighbor was able to pry Reo, the Pitbull, off of us and she took hold of her dog again, finally having sauntered up the street, not heeding our screams. There was immediately a crowd of neighbors around us, two angels even rushed Bently and I both to our respective Emergency Rooms. One neighbor in the confusion picked up all my belongings strewn about the road, and found Reo’s tag with two disconnected DC numbers on it. (more…)
“Dear PoPville,
I’ve seen this dog in the unit block of Riggs NE in the football field behind the charter school. The dog is often seen in the overnight hours. He’s an escape artist and has been impossible to catch by animal control and police. I’m hoping if the owners can be found, maybe they can get him. From speaking with neighbors, he’s been out here since May and is getting thinner by the month. “rocky” is his name on file with animal control.”

“I lost my keys today in the Dupont/Adams Morgan area. The keyring has 5 keys on it total, with a FOB. Also has a pawprint on it with initials “CYB” and I think “’07” too.
Please email [email protected] if you’ve found them.”

“Dear PoPville,
Does anyone in the H Street, NE neighborhood have any recommendations for dog walkers who truly love to spend time with the dogs they walk, and can be trusted to take good care of them?
I’ve had horrible experiences with being lied to about visits/ walks, and even just not showing up at all. All help is appreciated.”

“Dear PoPville,
My friends’ dog Capote bolted after they were involved in a serious car accident early this morning. He was last seen wearing a red harness and blue collar, heading toward the woods on BW Parkway near 95. They suspect he may have gotten into Greenbelt Park. The owners are both in hospital at the moment and completely broken up about this as they can’t search themselves. Local animal shelters are being contacted. If you’re up in the College Park/Greenbelt area, please keep a lookout. Please send sightings to [email protected]”

Update: Found!
“They were at the corner of Columbia and Ontario in NW DC when he heard a noise, spooked, and slipped out of his harness.
He is a 2 year old black, white and gray spotted boxer mix. Tail and ears are not docked, 50 pounds, typical white ‘socks’ markings on feet. He was wearing a Royal Blue collar and answers to the name Maurice.
He was lost spotted at 14th and Kenyon.”
Thanks to a reader for sending this urgently needed interlude from Dupont Circle/West End.
