So sad, this one, from reader Will:
Sky is our beautiful German Shepherd who we just adopted today [Jan. 19]. She jumped the fence in our yard when we went to buy her food and supplies to welcome her to her new home. We're told her former name was "Gretch." Even though we haven't had her very long, she's already a special member of our family, and my wife and I miss her very much. We are really anxious to get her back as soon as possible.
Sky is a pure breed German Shepherd, around 70 pounds. She's mostly black with some brown markings. She's wearing a brand new red collar and has a dog tag that asks anyone who finds her to call the Pasadena Humane Society.
Apparently she got out around noon and was last seen around Eaton Canyon on Altadena Drive at around 4pm Saturday.
UPDATE 1/22: Will writes back to say that Sky was killed by a car sometime Sunday. Our sympathies go out to them.
