Reader Rhonda just emailed:

My mother-in-law’s two year old lab mix bolted from their home at the corner of Coolidge and Berendo in Altadena.  He was last seen heading north toward Altadena Drive around 12:30 pm today 10/4/2012.  He’s mostly black with a bit of white on his front, about 60 lbs, very friendly.  If anyone sees him, please CALL ME at (626) 664-1812.  We’re out searching for him but have our cell phones.  Thank you.

UPDATE:  Shortly after we received this, we got a "found dog" email with picture, which we forwarded to Rhonda — and it was good!  Thank you, Marina Knapp, dog-finding heroine!
