I just heard today that the body of a freind's geriatric old lab Toby was recently recovered on the shore somewhere in Washington State and that the finders of his remains and collar found out who owned the dog and called him.
He suspected Toby had fallen overboard and drowned early this year when he came home to his floathouse in Ladner and the dog had disappeared.
A retired retriever that had been a top dog in his time,Toby was very elderly and arthritic and had a hard time even heaving himself upright shortly before his disappearance. My buddy knew that Toby couldn't climb out onto the float on his own and thought he might have been swept out to sea by the spring freshet. That is probably what happened.
It was very nice of the folks who found his body to make the effort to let my friend know.
