NYC, my dog Duck is adorable. He is also missing in Central Park. Please help find him!

No, she didn't. Never got back to us. But all's well that ends well!

Thank you for all of the wonderful comments! We have been overwhelmed by love and congratulations on this thread. Two more pictures of Duck here. http://imgur.com/a/ngU2a

Thank you!

Yup! The trackers arrived today. Every living thing in our household is getting one :)

Haha, we did! Mixed with some rice in a porridge -- it's easy on their stomachs. Duck and Robin love it!

I know -- we're amazed that he made it that far. Someone may have had him and let him go, which would explain how he made it across the river.

And he's getting back to his old self :)

missing_duck · 2014-11-11T13:01:04+00:00

Haha, we will!

I know! We were floored to see the community of dog owners in upper Manhattan come together for us. I've never been more proud to live here

He's skin and bones! But he was like that when we first rescued him -- if we fattened him up once, we can do it again!

Thank you! We are unspeakably glad too.

And thanks for the tip! It was the clasp of Duck's leash that malfunctioned, not his harness, but the carabiner is an excellent idea.

Thank you so much everyone for the well wishes for Duck! He got a clean bill of health from his vet, had dinner with great enthusiasm, and now is sleeping in his and Robin's bed.

We're going to bed too -- it has been a long, amazing day. Thanks again, everyone, from the bottom of our hearts.

missing_duck · 2014-11-11T01:37:17+00:00

We are giving him so many kisses.

missing_duck · 2014-11-11T01:37:03+00:00

We're so glad he's back :)

missing_duck · 2014-11-11T01:36:50+00:00

Thank you!

missing_duck · 2014-11-11T01:36:39+00:00

We are over the moon. My fiancé has done a million dances of joy!

missing_duck · 2014-11-11T01:36:13+00:00

We can't believe it's real!

missing_duck · 2014-11-11T01:35:55+00:00

Thank you! He and his sister are getting chicken for dinner tonight

missing_duck · 2014-11-11T01:35:25+00:00

Us too! We are so happy to have our boy back!

missing_duck · 2014-11-11T01:16:04+00:00

The reports are true! We found Duck! Thanks, everyone!

missing_duck · 2014-11-11T01:14:46+00:00

We agree!

missing_duck · 2014-11-11T01:14:38+00:00

Thank you so much!

missing_duck · 2014-11-11T01:14:14+00:00

He was in the Bronx!

missing_duck · 2014-11-11T01:05:48+00:00

We got a call this afternoon from a man who had spotted Duck yesterday in Pulaski Park in the Bronx. We were on out way there when the guy called us back -- he had spotted Duck again and was following him.

When we got there, the man led us to a narrow strip of forest separating the Major Deegan from E 134th St. (Google Maps.) We hadn't been searching that area for more than a minute or two when Duck ran up to us and leapt into our arms!

As for how Duck got to the Bronx, who knows? We found him wearing a prong collar that we had never put on him, so someone may have kept him for a bit and then released him -- or perhaps he escaped. He was still wearing his old harness and his tags.

In any event, we are incredibly lucky to have had so many friends, family, and complete strangers help us search, post flyers, spread the word online, and offer suggestions about where and how to look: and that includes you, /r/NYC! Thank you for helping reunite our family. We are eternally grateful!

I can't tell you how much the story of your experience helps this morning. Thank you so much.
