Have you seen missing Guide Dog puppy?

A 3-month-old puppy who was being trained to become a guide dog has been missing since Friday.

Lodi-area resident Cyndy Green said the puppy her daughter was training escaped from their property in the area of Armstrong and Davis roads, southwest of Lodi. However, on Saturday, a dog matching his description was seen between 1:30 and 2 p.m. on Thornton Road, north of Eight Mile Road, according to Jim Russell, a community field representative for Guide Dogs for the Blind.

Fifteen to 30 minutes later, someone reported seeing a similar-looking dog being picked up and put in a car, but it hasn't been determined if it was the missing dog, Russell said. There was no description of the car.

Green and Guide Dog officials searched the area Saturday for the dog, Russell said.

The dog, named Gannon, is a black male Labrador Retriever. He has a black collar with a Guide Dog tag and has a tattoo in both ears (small dots that consist of letters or numbers).

Gannon is owned by Guide Dogs for the Blind. He and other dogs are raised in homes until they are 15 to 18 months old. Then they begin their formal Guide Dog work and matched with blind people, said Guide Dogs spokeswoman Denise St. Jean.

While in family homes, the dogs are trained to have excellent house manners, and family members socialize them by introducing them to new people, places and experiences, St. Jean said.

Anyone who may have seen Gannon may call Russell at (209) 669-7657 or Guide Dogs for the Blind at (800) 295-4050.
