Has anyone seen a light faun
colored male boxer with a gray
ing mask who seems a little be
wildered by everything and def
nitely lost? Arthur, Larry and
Allan Tacknan have lost their
six year old boxer, who answers
to the name of Tony. Naturally
they miss longtime family pet.
He was wearing chain collar
with two rabies tags on it.
