UPDATE (11:41 a.m.)—A reader just called in and said she has seen the dog on a number of occasions near Pot Spring Elementary School.

Found this adorable dog in my inbox last night along with the heartening headline "Found dog Boxer in Timonium." 

That's infinitely better than the "can you please help find my puppy?" posts. 

Either way, the photo came with a Facebook message that read:

"Dog found in Timonium, Maryland. Beautiful dog. Well taken care of. No tags. If this is your dog please call [Patch at 443-621-2174]. Please share. Dog obviously belongs to someone." 

I changed the phone number to my Patch line to receive inquiries about the Boxer. I'll forward messages that I receive on to the kind folks who are looking after him/her in the meantime.

Now let's help can this pup home!
