A Calgary family is worried about a woman who is camping out in southeast Calgary hoping to find her lost dog.

Beverly Campbell is visiting from the Edmonton area and was walking the dog in the Parkland/ Deer Run area when it was startled by a bike and ran away. She has been frantically searching for him since Monday.

The dog has special value for Campbell. “About six years ago, I was going through a very tough time, and I got him, and he’s always shown me to stop being so serious, take time to play, take time to sleep, and take time for hugs.” said Campbell. “And that’s why he means so much to me.”

Campbell has been putting out food and blankets in places where her dog has been spotted, and is sleeping nearby in case he comes back. Her family is concerned for her safety.

The dog is named Scooter. He is a white pug cross with some patches, and is wearing a tag with contact information.
