Lost dog ... REWARD OFFERED ... Please read this whole message!

SUMO (Yorkshire Terrier) was last seen in the veld of the Hermanus Shooting Range next door to the Honingklip Farm in the Botrivier/Fisherhaven area at around 10h30 (25th Oct) after he and my mom had a car accident. 

He is wearing a black collar with SUMO written in diamante and a green bandana with white stripes around his neck. No tags! He is a 2 yr old Yorkshire Terrier (neutered) with Red/Tan colouring on his face and black longish fur on his body with red-tan colouring on his legs. He is a very important member of our family. 

We have been told that he may have been picked up by a coloured man in a white sedan in the early hours of yesterday (Thursday 27 Oct) and taken to a coloured housing community and that they travelled for quite some time away from Botrivier.

Please forward to everyone you know in the following areas Arniston/Waenhuiskrans, Barrydale, Betty's Bay, Botriver, Bredasdorp, Caledon, Elim, Gansbaai & Surrounds, Genadendal, Grabouw & Elgin, Greyton, Hermanus, Kleinmond, L'Agulhas, Napier, Pringle Bay, Riviersonderend, Malgas, Stanford, Struisbaai, Suurbraak, Swellendam, Villiersdorp, Witsand & Infanta.
