Update : This dog (Amy) is now LOST and the owners are searching for her.

From Eveline : Hi, just came back from a walk with my doggy at Locke Park and there was this doggy there, it doesn't seem to belong to anybody. Has anybody lost a doggy? He has no collar on, seems very friendly. Friends of Locke Park
