Okay, just been catching up and decided to also write to Dog. Here is a copy of my email:

Dear Dog,

I am yet another member of that online community of Yorkie lovers. I too am appealing to you to help us find Zeke. There is so much I could say to try and persuade you, but instead I am posting here a copy of the words written by Zeke's Mommy on the thread devoted to finding her lost baby. I am hoping her powerful words will touch your heart, as they did all of ours. Here goes:

"I would have already fallen apart if it wasn't for you amazing women! I came to this site hoping to find one or two people to keep an eye out for my precious boy, what I have received is something of a working miracle. I cannot describe the feelings I have for everyone of you. Each of you have invested time into this community and you have made strong bonds with each other... I see it in the posts. I am new here and you have each treated me like an old friend. I would like to share a little about myself and why my bond to my dear Zeke is so strong. For the past fourteen years I have been wife and mother. I lost my identity along the way which I know happens to a lot of moms. I have wanted a Yorkshire Terrier all my life. I always said when I grew up I would get one. Well, I gave birth to my first child in 1993. This was not the time for a brand new puppy, so I waited. As Christopher got older my dream of getting my Yorkie was nearing. He was finally old enough to be trusted around such a small dog so I began searching for a breeder in our area. Before I could find a breeder I was surprised by the news that I was three months pregnant. So I thought great another seven years! So again I waited. This time however was a little different. My baby Cayden was three years old. In November of 2005 I almost died from internal bleeding due to a disease I did not know I had. I had to have several transfusions and was in the hospital for a couple weeks. I finally was released but it was short lived... a week latter I was back in the hospital with more bleeding. In just four months I had been hospitalized so many times the nurses knew me by name. I have Crohnes Disease and it is a chronic, incurable disease but with medication and/or surgery partial control is possible. For some reason the doctors could not get my bleeding to stop and I was on a lot of medication. In March I decided I was not going to wait any longer for my Yorkie. I know at the time this was very selfish of me because I was only thinking of myself. I was afraid I may die and I did not want to leave without ever having my Yorkie. I wanted a little girl so bad because I have two sons and never had a daughter and I wanted my girl. I found an add in the paper that day and drove out to see them... she had two boys no girls. For some reason when I picked up Zeke I could not put him down. Even though I knew I did not want a boy something drew me to him. I left there with him. I had not told my husband of my intentions. I think the saying goes... better to ask for forgiveness then for permission... I was taking that route. I had been reading my Bible and happened to be in the book of Ezekiel, to make it more dog friendly I shortened it to Zeke. After I got him I went into the hospital once more ( which my husband snuck him in for me ) I have never been back I have been in remission since April of 2006. He is my angel, he always made everyday wonderful. I woke up every morning to licky faces as I call them and we went about our business together everyday. I now have a huge hole in my heart and I do not feel like the same person I was. I miss him so much my body aches. I know this was long and you guys are probably thinking, and why did we need to know all this, but I could not think of any other way to express the immensity in which I am so humbly grateful for everything you guys are doing for Zeke and I."

The author of this heart-wrenching post is a wonderful lady named Maureen. You, Dog, have the power to perhaps help her, help us, bring this precious little dog home. The police have been, to say the least, ineffectual.

With much anticipation and kind regards,

Lauren

Perhaps, with so many people's obvious and passionate desire to find Zeke, he will find it in him to help?
