This lost female golden retriever was found drifting into traffic a block from the Log House Museum on Alki. With the help of the West Seattle Herald, and some of our Facebook Friends, "Cheyenne" was reunited with her owner, Heidi Fish, the well-known West Seattle bathing suit designer, pictured here with her returned pet, and Joey, her 14 year-old son, the following day.
UPDATE, Noon, Saturday, Aug. 28
"Cheyenne," a 15 year-old golden retriever was just reunited with her owner thanks to this West Seattle Herald story and some super-sleuthing by West Seattle Facebook Friends Sydni Smith and Helen Johnson, and Ryan Baumann, a son of the dog-owner. Coincidentally, we reported on both Smith and Johnson last week with Jayme Miller's fundraiser: http://www.westseattleherald.com/2010/08/22/news/update-slideshow-walk-…
The owner, Heidi Fish, is a well-known award-winning bikini designer with her studio, Heidi Fish Swimwear on California Avenue. She lives just one block from where Cheyenne was found and said she is grateful to the West Seattle Herald for its help. We will update again, shortly, with a photo of Heidi and Cheyenne. She said that while she has been so busy developing her new line of men's swim wear in her studio, she stayed home yesterday and was up all night searching the beech and neighborhood for Cheyenne. Now that they are reunited, all Heidi needs are some buff male models for her new catalog.
Another coincidence, Cheyenne has been a patient at Lien Animal Clinic, where she was dropped off and spent the night she went missing in one of their lavish suites.
