Is there a daily updated pets lost/found for google maps?

Looks great...wish there was something like that when I was actively looking for Sable....The frustrating thing is people forget to let others know if their pet has been found and they stay on the lost list forever....updating is so important if you want others to help cross post and check other sites trying to match up pets.

that is an excellent idea,,,make sure you copywrite it ,,approach google about it and then i would contact the media to make sure it is well advertised so people know to look for it.
