Missing Wilmington Dog Seen in Reading Thursday Afternoon

Buddy, a Wilmington dog missing nearly four months, may have been spotted Thursday afternoon in the Grove Avenue area of Reading. If you saw Buddy in the area, you are asked to call Granite State Dog Recovery immediately at 978-988-6306. Please do not call out for him or chase him.

Buddy has been missing from the Richmond Road, Aldrich St. area in Wilmington since Oct. 14.

Buddy is a 6-year-old Lab/Shepherd mix and weighs 75 pounds. Buddy is friendly and outgoing and is wearing a collar and tags. He has a very curly tail and purple markings on his tongue.

The owners of a dog missing since mid-October have reported several sightings of the missing pooch.

In mid-January, there was a possible Buddy sighting on Forest Street at the North Reading/Middleton line near Harold Parker Forest. Buddy’s owners say the location makes sense following Buddy’s direction of travel so far.

On Jan. 7, buddy was spotted at the Hood Elementary School in North Reading.

Prior to that when he first went missing he was seen in Tewksbury at Shawsheen and Ballard Streets, as well as in Wilmington at the North Intermediate School at the corner of Rte. 125 and Rte 62.

In December, a feeding station was set up in a yard where Buddy had been seen eating cat food left out. A camera was set up to see if they could capture an image and they did. But they still haven’t been able to bring him home.

Again, Buddy is a 6-year-old Lab/Shepherd mix and weighs 75 pounds. Buddy is friendly and outgoing and is wearing a collar and tags. He has a very curly tail and purple markings on his tongue.

If you’ve seen Buddy please contact Granite State Dog Recovery at 978-988-6306.
