  • Just saw a cute white pit bowl with a black harness with large light brown spots running back and forth near the ocean- presumedly looking for his owners between Driftwood and Spinnaker .
    He looked worried. We tried to grab him to help him but he would run away each time. Hope the owners find him (Nextdoor Venice-West Ballona)
