Bentley Lost near Thornton Creek

Update 12/21:  Bentley went into the humane trap this morning and he is now safe at home.  He was reluctant to go in, and it took at least 12 hours before he went in. The trap was baited with his favorite foods, his toys, and his owner's clothing.

Update 12/20: We saw Bentley about a dozen times today, see map below.  A humane trap is set, and we hope he goes in it soon.

Bentley has been missing since 12/8, from near 25th Ave NE and NE 55th.  He was seen 12/15 near Roosevelt and 108th, near Thornton Creek.  He may be using the creek to travel in search of food.  If you see him, please don't chase him or try to catch him.  Please call Bentley's owner at 310-924-0978 or call Three Retrievers Lost Pet Rescue at 206-552-0304.  He weighs about 25 pounds, and escaped without a collar.
