Puppy found in Belleville identified with help of Facebook page

On July 13, a woman on East Huron River Drive in the city of Belleville called police to report a young male dog had wandered up on her porch.
Cpl. Kris Faull picked up the puppy who had a black collar, no tags, and a leash that looked like it had been chewed. Cpl. Faull put the dog in the back seat of the scout car, but it was too slippery and he complained. Thus it was she drove around the neighborhood with him in the front seat.
She didn’t find anyone out looking for him, so she took him to the station, gave him food and water and a potty break and then drove him around to the local veterinarians to see if they recognized him and to find out if he had a microchip.
She took him to Duke’s, Belleville Animal Hospital, Sumpter Pet Care and Healthy Paws. No microchip, but Dr. Craiger thought he looked familiar, but couldn’t come up with a name. They agreed the pup was about 10 months old.
Cpl. Faull took a picture of the dog and sent it to Reserve Officer Dennis Mowbray, whose girlfriend was active in dog rescue. She put the pup on the internet on a Facebook Page called Looking for Louie, a huge pet finder in the state of Michigan – which, by the way, was founded by Cpl. Faull’s former schoolmate Meredith Brown.
The puppy’s family was immediately found. He lived a quarter mile away on E. Huron River Drive and he disappeared June 24. His name is Shotgun and he had lost a little weight.
The family was so happy to have Shotgun back that Monday night they grilled him his own hamburger. On Tuesday morning, they dropped by the station to thank Cpl. Faull, again, for bringing their little Shotgun back.
