| Dog-Gone Story Has Happy Ending It's so nice to finally read a story with a happy ending! Dog-Gone Story Has Happy Ending http://www.nydailynews.com/front/sto...p-314702c.html BY LISA L. COLANGELO DAILY NEWS CITY HALL BUREAU This shaggy dog story has a happy ending. Janine Segarra's 3-year-old pooch was so terrified by an unleashed pit bull in Carl Schurz Park, next to Gracie Mansion, he wriggled free of his collar and fled. Fortunately, Shiba the 26-pound Shiba Inu lives in a city of dog lovers. "Every New Yorker called me to give me a heads-up to say where my baby may be," said Segarra, 34, a senior manager at the Fairway market on the upper West Side. Posters put up by Segarra urging people to look out for the wayward pet earlier this month generated a massive response. Dog lovers called in sightings of the wily pooch, and one woman spent hours in Central Park trying unsuccessfully to coax the frightened dog onto a leash. Finally, animal rescuer Miriam Reik ended Shiba's four days on the run when she was called to pick up the exhausted dog from a W. 97th St. doorway. "He looked very frightened and tired," said Reik, who heads a group called the Animal Project. "Everybody says New Yorkers are mean and nasty, but we're not," said Segarra. "Everybody banded together." Shiba was reunited with his owner by a tiny identification microchip implanted under his skin - a process Segarra hopes her experience encourages. "Otherwise you can lose your best friend forever," she said. Originally published on November 29, 2005

| I could just picture him, scared and hungry, hiding in the doorway. Poor thing!

| I am from NYC and my fiancee and I always joke that if God forbid we were to lose Nikko, we'd never get him back!! But it is nice to hear positive stories from my hometown and know that there really are nice and caring people out there.
