North Hampton Dog Missing; $500 Reward Offered

NORTH HAMPTON, NH — The owners of a lost North Hampton dog are asking the public's help finding the animal as a massive snowstorm approaches. "Sophie" went missing Tuesday from its Post Road home and was last seen near New Road. She is a 10-year-old coonhound mix.

The dog has a collar with tags. It suffers from Addison's disease and is in need of medication.

"We are asking anyone who lives in the area to PLEASE check around your property," the owners wrote. "Check anywhere she might be able to hide ... under decks or porches, in or around sheds and barns, under stored boats, campers or vehicles, etc."

They added, "With the impending storm and very cold weather, we are desperately trying to track her down."

The storm is expected to drop 17 inches of snow on North Hampton Saturday into Sunday. Frigid cold will follow and wind chill values are expected to drop to as low as -15 Monday.

Anyone with information is asked to call 603-502-0530 or police.
