She is described as wearing a black leather collar and was apparently last seen on Jim Fouché Road close to the Checkers complex on 14th Avenue. A number is tattooed inside her one ear, he wrote on facebook later.
Various community members tweeted @casperrasper, getting involved in the search, but it appears to date nobody has been successful in tracking the dog. De Vries has not yet updated involved parties on twitter since around 7.45pm last night.
At the time he tweeted, “the only hope now is when vets and [the Roodepoort] SPCA open on weekdays.”
The Roodepoort SPCA got involved with the search last night.
