This dog was seen Friday morning, May 22 wandering by Washington Elementary School in Waukegan. He was wearing a collar, and according to the person who spotted him, he "almost got hit by a car and a garbage truck, but he walks calmly down the sidewalk which makes me think he has a home (and gets walked). He's just wandering around, marking his territory."

"Max," a 14-pound Havanese, was lost May 7 in Deerfield, near North Avenue and Wilmot Road. He has a blue leather collar, bronze tag with his name on it, and his owners advise anyone who spots him to not chase him, as he is likely afraid or skittish.
