Reward offered in pursuit of Auburn’s Great Dane

Last week the Auburn Reporter published a small story about one of Auburn's homeless — a wandering Great Dane. And how Patricia Cosgrove was offering a reward for the peripatetic pooch's capture on behalf of a friend who wanted to adopt her.

Last week the Auburn Reporter published a small story about one of Auburn’s homeless — a wandering Great Dane.

And how Patricia Cosgrove was offering a reward for the peripatetic pooch’s capture on behalf of a friend who wanted to adopt her.

Cosgrove, director of the White River Valley Museum, said she’s gotten a number of calls from other Dane spotters, but so far nobody’s had any luck catching her.

“I’ve probably gotten 15 calls or more,” Cosgrove said Monday. “By now I know plenty about the behavior of this particular dog, where she goes. But she’s not been caught yet.”

Cosgrove first spotted the black Dane before Thanksgiving at a fireworks stand on the hill, two weeks later in Les Gove Park and most recently trotting along on Auburn Way South. Recently the down-on-her-luck dog recently picked up a limp.
