Tucker has been missing since December 23rd from my hometown of Dawson Creek, British Columbia.
He is believed to have been grabbed out of his owner's truck, and is likely not in the area anymore, so I'm sending this out in the hopes that it might reach someone who knows about his whereabouts, or for someone who might stumble across him at a friend's or the like.
His family misses him quite badly. So badly in fact that they've put posters and billboards covering our entire city in the search for him and have now increased the reward for his safe return up to $10,000, no questions asked. He can be dropped off at any SPCA if the person who has him is uncomfortable coming forward, and his owners have promised to donate the $10,000 to that shelter to help other animals.
Tucker is a male Miniature American Eskimo/Shih Tzu, pure white with slightly tan ears and weighing 15-20 lbs. He has a bacterial infection in his ears and needs medication for it.
Keep an eye out for him. If you're located in Western Canada (Alberta, BC, the Yukon, NWT or Saskatchewan, since Dawson Creek is Mile Zero of the Alaska Highway and is right on the BC/Alberta border and a few hours south of the Yukon) so inclined to give a call to your local SPCA or vet clinic letting them know, it would also be appreciated, although they may already know.
Also, if you have other animal lovers on your mailing list who might be willing to keep their eyes open, feel free to forward.

I am so sorry to hear this. I am in Alberta and although I probably would not see him as I am in a small town I will still keep my eyes and ears open. I will for sure let others that I know about this. I am a huge animal lover and can not imagine this happening to me. Good Luck in finding Tucker.

Well, the suspicion is that it was a trucker or someone who drives a lot for a living, since his owner noticed him missing at a weigh scale just outside of town, but hadn't seen him since he put him into his truck at a motel in town frequented by truckers, about an hour before. It's actually a good thing that you're from a small town, since the person who has him might be, too.
