Here's the sad news behind this dumping:

I need your help in locating the reported male and female responsible for tossing this dog out of their 4-door light colored sedan on December 30th, at approximately 12:30pm-1pm. Involved dog, a black lab unaltered male type, spent 5 days in the cold fleeing from humans in the area. He appears to be around 1 year old and is skinny.

Within about 15 minutes of Lucias's arrival in the area, the dog was safely contained by his human handler. This makes for about 40 total dogs that Lucias has caught throughout his life. He is a 10 year old confident Corgi/Heeler mix used by animal control to contain terrified dogs. Let's give him a round of "apaws".

If you have ring video footage in the below neighborhood of Northlake Drive or any information about the humans responsible for this, please call ACCO 509-967-7112 reference WRPD 25-0082.

I can't believe some people, some days you see the worst in people. Luckily Lucias's was on the case and managed to help the West Richland Police Department - Good Job Lucias - Good Boy!
