We just heard that Bosun walked out of the bushes and straight for his adopter, who was armed with a hot dog in her hand. He is safe and back home.
THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! Words cannot express how grateful we all are for all of the wonderful individuals who came to the rescue, and helped to get Bosun home safely.
We could still use help picking up the flyers from the neighborhood and stores where they were left - there's hundreds out there! This is a quick and easy, and happy, job. We need to be good guardians of the neighborhood Bosun visited.

3 Sightings Sunday
We had two sightings this morning, both around 10:30am, near each other; and both in the woodsy area along Walter Reed between King St and Wakefield. We have a feeding station at one of those locations.
Then another sighting that occurred at 3:30pm today was called in about 7:30pm (thanks to fliering!) This was on Buchanan St in the wooded area at the end -- other side of Fairlington from where the fire station/395 is.
These sightings will be added to the sighting map.
Fliering Monday Thanks to volunteers that were out today, much of the fliering has been done (and they are working!) But there are still areas that could use a few more, and we'd like to expand the fliering outside of the immediate sighting areas including to the many businesses in the. For anyone that is able to flier on Monday (or beyond), a supply of the fliers has been left in a box on S 28th St, just past King St, and right next to the tennis courts. This will be noted on the map.
Commuters For those who commute through this area with 15 minutes to give: you may be able to generate sightings if you can make a slow sweep through the area where Bosun has been seen. View the map before you set out, each time since the sighting area may change. For now, this will have you exiting off 395 and winding through Fairlington, among other places.
What to do if you see Bosun DO NOT chase or call out to him. DO note exactly where you are, and call us immediately and we will have first responders investigate the sighting. Mark the spot in some way if you can, so that if you have to leave, others can tell where you were (e.g., tie a large piece of ribbon on a tree). The numbers to call are as follows: Mary Ann at 571-271-6974, or 202-228-1451 if no answer; and Arlington County Animal Control at 703-931-9241; report this as an animal emergency. (They know that Bosun is at large, and will help us but they need to be called for a specific sighting to send someone.)
