Update on Champ missing from Bloomingdale:
“Yesterday’s post resulted in 4 sightings of Champ! He is still alive and seems to be sticking around the golf course at the Old Soldiers Home just north of Washington Hospital Center. I was able to gain access to the grounds yesterday and came within a few feet of him, but he is so scared he would not come anywhere near me. He is still somewhere out there. The security team on the grounds has seen him multiple times and has even tried to capture him. I left him food at the spots I saw him and I hope he comes back there to eat. I hope he will stay within this fenced area until he is caught or his hunger grows stronger than his fear. If any of your readers were to see him (he has approached multiple dog walkers on the other side of the fence), any attempt to put a collar/leash on him would be incredibly welcome. He is very gentle and would not react aggressively. I am going to speak to the head of the campus security today to see if they will continue granting me access to the property to try to catch him. Not sure what my next move is exactly, but I have seen my dog alive less than 24 hours ago, so this is a huge development. If any of your readers can help or if they see him, I continue to ask them to call me at 202-420-0176. Thanks so much to the community for helping me thus far. I can’t tell you how much it means.”
