This is Charlie Brown.

He's a Boston Terrier from Killdeer, ND but somehow ended up in my parent's backyard, and now my house. He is super cuddly and gassy.
He has a vets tag but the vet doesn't remember who this dog belongs to. Maybe she'll figure it out.

I... what?

It's Sunday, I'm hoping they'll figure it out tomorrow.
They remembered him, and they remembered his name is Charlie Brown.

I'm just... wondering that they don't have a list or something??

He's very cute.

That face…those eyes!

No microchip? He's really cute. Like... really cute. :)

It's better if they don't have a microchip; as the case of Leon (http://www.noble-leon.com/) shows, dogs can end up with fatal carcinomas at the site their microchip is implanted. I haven't put a microchip in Corky.

I will be microchipping my husband as soon as that's allowed. Lillian has been returned to me many times from microchip.

And someone is probably crying tonight because they don't know if their Boston Terrier is alive or dead. If he'd be chipped, he'd be home already.

I had cervical cancer. I truly do not appreciate anti-vaccine links. I am a firm believer in individual sacrifice for the greater good.

He's sweet and well-behaved, too. There's wild talk about maybe not doing such a good job on trying to find the owners.

Yeah, well my terrier (pictured) was found on the street as well; I don't know if he was lost or turned loose, but having had a dog before who died from terminal liver cancer, I'm not interested in courting cancer.

Madness! What will Lillian think?

They let you microchip your kids but not your spouse? Maybe you could get John's fambly to microchip him :D

I'd bet the chances of a dog being euthanize unnecessarily because it's been impounded without anyone being able to find it are greater than the chances of developing cancer from a microchip. Stray dogs (I imagine) don't stand much of a chance unless people like Manintheboat or Randomdreams find them.

It's pretty much a question of which is more likely I guess :/

I'm trying very hard to find his people!
But it would be nice if he stayed too.

I'm thinking if you feed him better food and walk him more often (look at those talons!) he'll be less gassy?

Lillian eats THE VERY BEST DOG FOOD and she's gassy. It's part of old age they tell me.

But yes, unfortunately he can't be walked very far in this heat, he'll collapse.

It's 60 degrees outside. Oh wait. THE WHOLE WORLD DOESN'T EXIST IN SEATTLE.

Sorry I forget sometimes. Poor puppy.

He is adorable. I'm such a sucker for chin-on-the-floor pose.

Peabody is double-chipped. Apparently, there are two main types of microchips and not all shelters have both types of scanners. So, yeah.

And Charlie Brown is ADORABLE.

awww... he's beautiful
