Lost Dog Reunited with Owner Through Facebook Connection
When Sammie the Husky went missing Friday, both his owner and the man who found him took to the social media site in an effort bring him home.
Updated: 7:33 p.m. Sunday
After Sammie the Siberian Husky disappeared from his yard Friday afternoon, his owner, Maryann Boltd, worried that he might be gone forever.
Luckily, Sammie was found by Myron Phelps, a painter working on a house just two yards down from Boltd's home on S. California Avenue.
With a little help from Facebook, Phelps was able to bring Sammie back to his owner, safe and sound.
When Phelps found the dog, he took him home with him for the night and posted a picture of Sammie on Facebook, hoping someone might recognize the dog and help him locate the owner.
Boldt and her friends posted pictures of Sammie on the social networking site as well, and one woman, Catherine Petersen Marshall Plowman, saw both pictures and connected the dots to unite Phelps and Boldt and bring the lost dog home.
Only a day after he went missing, Sammie and his owner were reunited.
"I'm so thankful to both of them," said Boldt.

I found Sammie the Husky in Evergreen Park the same day he went missing. The following day I posted pic ofthe dog on my FB wall. Got in contact with owners and returned Sammie to his family. I'm Glad I was able to help with the recovery of a beautiful Siberian Husky. Sammie and I became friends for a day. I can truly say, one of the best dogs I ever met. He is home safe now and my heart is at ease. I incorporate this kinda thinking at all times because we're here as ppl to help one another. If you think any other way it's uncivilized. I'm Myron Phelps and I approve this message. :)

"I approve this message" too, Myron. Thank God that there are still people like you in the world. With all of the negative comments and back stabbing that we read on EPPatch it's refreshing to see a truly kind, thoughtful person. Thanks for the reminder that good people are still out there.
