Friday, July 31st, 2009Jack was lost in the vicinity of Pickerel Cove Road in Castle Harmony, along the north west side of Great Moose Lake.
Jack was lost walking back from the boat ramp to the rented cottage. He was there only 5 days, so he’s not familiar with the area.
There was a possible sighting reported to the dog officer there - “Rich” - but no more info is known.
Area Towns: Castle Harmony (where he was lost); Athens, Cyrs, Mainstream, Harmony.
OWNERS: Are from Rhode Island, so they are back home, reluctantly. It will be up to Mainers to find this dog.

If you know anyone living in Castle Harmony, ask them to have folks look out for Jack. Roads in that area: Pickerel Cove Road, Bailey Bridge Road, Bean Hill Road, South Rd., S Merrill Rd., Lakeview Drive, Shore Dr., Zelliff Rd.
The Lake is on one side, so Jack would be walking inland, or along the shore.
MORE ABOUT JACK and WHAT HE MIGHT BE DRAWN TO:
- He may be inclined to seek out young boys for company, there is a young boy of 7 in the family.

- He should come when called (unless he is disoriented).
