Bad Car Crash on 404 Dogs ran away

[PacoandPeanut]

Paco and Peanut were riding in the back of my friends car when she was struck by a drunk driver at about 11pm on Dec 30/08. The dogs got scared and ran away. Paco was on a lesh but in terrified state vigourously wiggled free of his collar. I've read on here that some people feel that if a dog is found on the highway he was dumped there. Well this is not the case. My gf and I are hurting very badly right now and her friend that was driving feels nothing but guilt even though it was the fault of a drunk. If theres anyone out there that wants to help us please do. We've called all the places - Vets, SPCA, police, Kennel INN. We've placed flyers in the area we don't know what else to do.

If anyone can help us organize a search and canvas we need the help. The area is huge. The accident happened on the 404 at Elgin Mills. I hope the little guys are warm somewhere.

I'm so sorry this happened Sending lots of & that you are reunited w/Paco & Peanut very soon

What about an ad in the local paper?

[PacoandPeanut]

Yes. I tried calling today not realizing what day it was "new years day". I will be calling the toronto paper, local markam paper and the chinese language newspaper.

Oh, what a dreadful way to start the year :sad:

I certainly hope that no one was hurt in the crash and that the driver is being pursued to the fullest extent of the law for their bad choice of driving

So this is the 404 in Ontario near Markam, right?

My biggest fear is an accident with my dogs in the car :sad: What an awful thing for your friend and you

I'm not near the area but wish you the best of luck in your search. they are found soon.

I really hope that you find your 2 dogs. Check out www.infopet.ca ...post a lost ad and also search for any found dogs. Also, look at canadastrays.com.
I know how it hurts to lose a dog..I am still looking for my own. I look at lost and found websites everydog looking for my own dog that has been missing since March, so I will keep an eye open for your 2 dogs.

Good luck...I know the heartbreak of losing a dog, our Billie has been missing for over 1 year.:sad:

Thanks for posting that picture. Unfortunately that isn't Paco. Paco doesn't have any brown on him except for his paws. We tried tracking them for the last two days and it seems he's moving north heading towards Stoffville. Please keep the posts of lost dog pics coming. I've been checking everything I can imagine as well. We think the old man (Paco) is out there and working his way back up to Newmarket.

We went out looking again today with no luck. We have a new plan to try to get the local tv stations involved. If we can get enough people to call the local tv stations they may run the story (we hope).

My gf Danielle Cohen has created a facebook group. Called

Please help me find my dogs!

If we can get enough people to join this group and have them call the local tv stations I'm hoping we can get them to run a story. We are looking for new ideas too. Please keep posting pics of lost dogs that you find in the area. We still have hope.

Thankyou to everyone from both of us.

PacoandPeanut,,I would contact the Toronto Star and the Sun,after all,they are missing because of a drunk driver.
City TV is usually interested in this kind of story too.
I am just really concerned about their small size and the cold weather,that someone has taken them indoors.
Would they stick together,is Peanut a small puppy??

Hi, I'm not sure where you are located but check out this link that was posted on the Vancouver CL in the last few days. Someone spotted two dogs on a highway in Squamish.

I just heard the interview that was done on CFRB..hope it helps to bring these little guys back home. I wish more radio/tv stations could be as compassionate as they just were your story.
Good Luck and hope someone heard your plea.
