Until you hear, as a dog lover, my heart always hopes for good news when it comes to lost dogs. Sadly that isn't the case for Bert, the lost Chihuahua. He'd been lost since October 7 near Fort Funston, and his Addison's Disease made his search and recovery all the more urgent. His body was found Saturday October 20. Grateful Dog Rescue just made the announcement:
Our lovely little Bert's body was found Saturday morning in the dunes of Ft Funston by a dog walker. We waited until now to make the announcement until we were able to notify all of the people that were closest to Bert. RIP little guy!

Bert is a 7 pound chihuahua mix. He is mostly dark brown with tan markings on his face / legs. When he went missing he was wearing a blue collar and tags. He is micro-chipped. Bert has a rare immune disease – Addison's Disease (same disease that President JFK had) – and needs medication daily.
Bert disappeared at Fort Funston in San Francisco over a week ago (October 7). He was spotted at several locations in South San Francisco: Martin Elementary School (Hillside Boulevard and Spruce Avenue); Chestnut Avenue and Grand Avenue; and Grand Avenue and Linen Avenue.
He has also been tracked as far south as San Bruno Avenue East near 101 South (more than 12 miles from Fort Funston – click here for map link).
We believe that he is still in the area and he is scared.
Please help by calling 415-672-1343 or Peninsula Humane Society at 650-340-7922 if you see him.
Please do not chase him as he may bolt and put himself in danger.
