Missing Dog Buddy Spotted Near the Tewksbury Line Over Memorial Day Weekend

Buddy, a Wilmington missing since October, may have been seen near the Tewksbury town line this weekend. 

Buddy’s owner says on Sunday she received multiple calls of Buddy sightings. Buddy was spotted on Grove Avenue, near Silver Lake and near the Tewksbury line.

If you saw Buddy in the area, you are asked to call Granite State Dog Recovery immediately at 978-988-6306. Please do not call out for him or chase him.

Buddy has been missing from the Richmond Road, Aldrich St. area in Wilmington since Oct. 14.

Buddy is a 6-year-old Lab/Shepherd mix and weighs 75 pounds. Buddy is friendly and outgoing and is wearing a collar and tags. He has a very curly tail and purple markings on his tongue.

The owners of a dog missing since mid-October have reported several sightings of the missing pooch.

There have been Buddy sightings all around the area over the months:

• In early April, Buddy’s owners received a call from Wakefield that someone jogging the lake saw a skinny Buddy. That same week his owners were following up on a sighting in Middleton on Peachy Street off River Street behind condominiums.

• Buddy may have been seen in early April on Rustic Lane and Beaver Road in Reading.

• In mid March, there was a report he was seen in Lynnfield in the Chestnut Street area.

• In mid-January, there was a possible Buddy sighting on Forest Street at the North Reading/Middleton line near Harold Parker Forest. Buddy’s owners said at the time, the location makes sense following Buddy’s direction of travel so far.

• On Jan. 7, buddy was spotted at the Hood Elementary School in North Reading. In February he was spotted in the Grove Avenue area of Reading.

• Prior to that when he first went missing he was seen in Tewksbury at Shawsheen and Ballard Streets, as well as in Wilmington at the North Intermediate School at the corner of Rte. 125 and Rte 62.

Again, Buddy is a 6-year-old Lab/Shepherd mix and weighs 75 pounds. Buddy is friendly and outgoing and is wearing a collar and tags. He has a very curly tail and purple markings on his tongue.
