Lost Basset Hound

By Courtney Taylor, Master Control

On February 4, my friend's basset hound "Flash" escaped from her home on Purchase Street in Milford. She is a tri-colored dog with a white, brown, and black coat. Flash is a senior dog but very sweet, and she loves everyone. She was last seen by a neighbor on Purchase Street who was unable to catch her. She was limping, so she may be injured. If you see her or have any information about her, please call 1-508-244-8956. Thank you.
