Keep an eye out for a lost dog named Chowzer, a Schnauzer, who is pictured. He is still missing, and was last seen by his “parents” Sean and Shawna Lundry on April 30 at the vehicle beach entrance near the Peter Iredale shipwreck.

Chowzer is 2 1/2 years old, weighs about 15 pounds, and stands about 12 inches tall and about 18 inches long. He was wearing a red harness with his dog license and rabies tags attached. Chowzer also has a key identifying oddity: He has six toes on each back paw.

Dog tracker Harry Oakes (www.k9sardog.com) has been on the job with tracking dogs, and it appears that Chowzer has been heading south from Fort Stevens, according to a post on the Clatsop Animal Assistance Facebook page (www.facebook.com/ClatsopAnimalAssistance). A second set of tracking dogs seemed to catch a whiff of him near Camp Rilea.

It’s quite possible that Chowzer has continued south, since his “grandparents” have a house in Seaside, but it’s also just as likely that someone picked him up. In other words, he could be anywhere.

Fortunately, reports that Chowzer was found dead in Warrenton have been proven wrong. The dog who was found did not have six toes on his back paws.

Chowzer will run when frightened, so if you see him, Harry Oakes recommends you sit quietly and call his name — then call the Lundrys at 541-965-3735 or 541-980-2549. Or, if you think you might know who has him, please let them know. The couple is offering a reward for his return, no questions asked.

“He even went on our honeymoon with us,” Sean and Shawna wrote. “He is a huge part of our lives and we feel broken without his presence.”
