Ekko was found about 5 blocks from our house under a bush in the back of a house. The house is near John Marshall and Lee Hwy. Many thanks to the little 7-year old girl who spotted Ekko and called a neighbor to bring a leash. The neighbor recognized Ekko right away from the flier nearby.
***We did not think he would recognize us when we saw him at the vet on a blanket. But he sat right up when sat in front of him and pushed his nose near us looking for a pat. In fact, he lifted up front legs onto the chair to get close to Maureen (even with a broken leg).
**** Ekko will stay at the vets today and overnight for observation, checked out, fed, and rehydrated. The x-rays indicate he has two bones broken in his front leg. So he will probably have surgery tomorrow.

Yay! Congratulations! I'm so happy for you, your family, and, of course, for Ekko.
Sorry you're injured, but so happy you've been found! Yay for Ekko!

have been following the search for Ekko from the beginning...My golden retriever and I have been on the look-out for him every morning on our walks---we only live a couple of blocks from where he was found---can't tell you how relieved and happy I am to hear that he is safe at last and will soon be back at home where he belongs!!

I'm so glad. I've been following your postings and SO sad/afraid. What a happy ending!
Woohoo!!!
Welcome back to the cul-de-sac Ekko! Feel better soon and come visit Ms. Poe (The little white poodle living in the red door house.
YEA!!!! I've been carrying an extra leash when walking Buttercup, my 14½ year-old Lab, just in case ever since the Ekko posters appeared. It was a good thing I had it as on Monday I happened on another lost dog in Bon Air Park, a little female West Highland Terrier, and reunited her whith her family. It was a good week for lost dogs. Again, YEA!!!
I hope that Ekko's surgery goes okay today and he can go home soon!
Hope Ekko is doing weel. Glad he was found. CB
Little Angels everywhere!!! Good for Ekko for hanging on and for the Divine intervention that came his way. Please keep us updated on his progress....our collective prayers were answered :)))))
