Bear & Dodge
Message to ALL from Bear and Dodge’s family: “I can not even begin to thank each and everyone of you! You have cared so much about my boys and put so much positive thought into helping find my boy Dodge alive, we are truly grateful. The emergency Vet believes there is no reason Dodge should not make a full recovery.” (4.3.16)
HAPPY ENDING: Home and Safe! Dodge has been found! He is currently being transported “through the thick woods … in a make shift coat sling with 4 men carrying him. He is hurt but very alert and happy to see his mom and dad.” He will be home soon. His owners thank all that cared and shared and everyone for their prayers. NSLDN wishes him a speedy recovery.(3.30.16 – 4.3.16)
UPDATE: 3.30.16 – 7:06pm: RAINBOW BRIDGE: Bear has Passed Away: Beautiful Bear was killed by a passing train today. However, Dodge is still missing. We send our heartfelt condolences to Bear’s family. Let’s get Dodge home safely. Thank you.
UPDATE: 4.1.16 – 1:00pm: UPDATE: 4.1.16 – 1:00pm: Dodge is still missing, and a radius of about 1000ft from the site where bear was found on the tracks has been meticulously searched with people and hunting dogs. We know Dodge was mobile to some degree.The description of the incident indicated he was hit and sent tumbling outside the tracks. There is evidence that he was severely injured, but able to get away. He is most likely on the Southside of the tracks, in the area bounded by Canal Cays drive, and the ends of subdivisions roads in Kinlock, St Andrews village and Lockview. A coyote has been spotted in the area and may or may not be a concern to Dodge. We are still patrolling trails and searching the woods. He was good and healthy, well fed and had a really heavy coat, so even injured in this weather he may still be moving. Please keep sharing his info as the more eyes in the search the more likely he will get back home.
We buried Bear today with his blanket and favourite ball. I would like to say how thankful I am to the employees at CN who cared for my Bear and tried to save him. Who also spent time looking in the woods for Dodge. It means more than we will ever have words for. Also thank you everyone for sharing our posts, helping search for Dodge and sending kind words and messages..
UPDATE: 3.30.16 – 10:00pm: CN said they think they hit Dodge too, but only a bit they searched for him with no luck. We are still looking. He is hurt and was on the tracks that run along kings road threw the woods toward Windsor junction

I,m so very sorry for your loss of Bear. My prayers are with you in your search for Dodge! ❤️
Not sure this would help but years ago we lived on Kings Rd, our black lab went missing for 5 days, we found her in Beaverbank, she’d gone through the lumber road.
So happy to see this beautiful fellow was found alive, and will recover–when I read it, I cried. I am very, very sorry to read that Bear was killed.
Most heartfelt condolences on his loss–and very happy thoughts for Dodge’s recovery.
