I don't want to get anyone's hopes up too much, but my own have just been restored so I'm posting!

I just checked the messages at home and there was someone calling about my lost posters. I called him right back, of course. From the description he gave me, Delta is in his area. A dog matching Delta's physical description, with a collar and tag just like his on, who is so skittish this guy can't near him & who is making friends with his dog, has been hanging around his place for a week. The area is a good distance from our house, but it's also on the main trail system--where I and many other mushers train. This nice man has been feeding the dog, hoping he could gain his trust. He just went to get his mail and saw my poster. I taped them to all the rural mailboxes I could find. I left him my cell number and he's going to call as soon as he sees Delta again. (I'm assuming the dog is Delta because that's what my heart wants to believe.) I'm at work, but I have permission to run out if he calls.

Please keep those prayers coming, paws crossed, whatever...just maybe they are working.
