Cookie The Dog Has Been Found

PERRY HALL, MD — A dog who was hit by a car and went missing in Perry Hall has been found.

Cookie, 5, was hit by a vehicle on Rose Haven Road and ran off on Friday, April 8, according to her owner, Traci Myers Nies.

A runner saw her in a yard on Thursday, April 14, and contacted the family, who came and picked her up and took her to the vet for treatment, Nies told Patch Thursday morning.

In the days between when she disappeared and was discovered, Cookie's family did not stop looking for her.

Nies said she and her family conducted multiple searches and got help from animal trackers.

Her 18-year-old son and her husband searched the woods and fields daily near their home. They are near Bucks School House Road by the Pine Valley Swim Club.

"No one has even had a sighting of her since the accident and we have had a dog tracker out 2 times," Nies said on Tuesday. "Cameras have been placed and feeding stations with no luck."

The family asked residents to check their security cameras from April 8 in case they saw her, or to let them know if they noticed someone who suddenly had a dog that looks like Cookie.

"Cookie is the sweetest dog. She is a big socialite in my neighborhood and a favorite," said Nies, who shared that her dog actually smiles. "She looks for her dog friends and dogs that don’t want to be her friend but she just thinks they need to get to know her more....She thinks every person is here to personally see her. We adore her, love her immensely, and miss her so much."

She was located off Bucks School House Road near White Marsh Road, according to Nies.

Upon finding her on Thursday, Nies said her family took Cookie to an area animal hospital, which was treating her for her leg, which was badly injured.
