Update on the Search For Tessa

The search for Dennis Lehane's dog is now focused along parts of Brookline Village and North Allston.

The search continues for Tessa, the Beagle owned by bestselling author and Brookline resident Dennis Lehane.

Tessa’s searchers are currently focusing the area of search to Brookline Village (near Aspinwall and Kent streets) and North Allston between Western Avenue and Lincoln Street.

“We are trying to talk to neighbors and ask them to look in their garages and sheds and bulkheads, under their porches, and all around their trash cans,” wrote a poster on Finding Tessa, a Facebook page dedicated to finding Lehane’s dog.

Tessa went missing over a week ago on Christmas Eve. Since then, the Facebook group formed to try and find the pup. Lehane has also issued an original reward; he’ll name a character in his next book after the person who finds the dog.
