Kiki found - though not brought home
At long last, Kiki, our sweet girl, has been found though not the happy reunion we had hoped for. Within a day or two of going missing on November 2, 2008 in the Laurentian mountains north of Montreal, she was shot dead by deer hunters about two miles from home. She was allegedly mistaken for a 'white coyote' as reported by a disapproving fellow hunter who came forward last week after spotting her photo at a vets office. He had heard about the incident within the local hunting community and went to investigate, finding the body of a husky, not a coyote at all. A few days ago, he led us on snowshoes to the exact spot he had found her three months back and we were able to determine it was indeed Kiki's resting place. The search is over and now the true grieving begins.

Thank you so much
Thank you so much for the messages of sympathy. Needless to say, Kiki will be dearly missed.

I appreciated Copperbelle's tip on outfitting dogs in orange vests during hunting season. Unfortunately, I don't think any animal was safe in the woods that day with those trigger happy hunters. We believe Kiki was labelled a white coyote after the deed was done. The sport of hunting, of which I am not a fan, undoubtedly attracts all types - some responsible and others out of control.

What a beautiful dog! I remember, all through my teenage years, I used to have a big sticker on my closet door that said "Support gun control, kill a hunter". No idea where i got it...

What a horrible end to your search.
And so what if he thought it was a white coyote? Does that give'em the right to shoot it?
I so despise people who think they have the right to kill things they are afraid of or don't like. I have no use for hunting anything, anytime.
