Buddy’s owner Deborah Edgerly said on Sunday she spoke with a third person to have seen a dog matching Buddy’s description going through trash in Peabody. Edgerly spoke to her at length, sent her photos of Buddy and the woman confirmed it is the missing dog.

Buddy was spotted in the St. Adelaide’s church area and the Clearwater Road area. Buddy’s owners want to keep him in that area and not have him move so are stressing to anyone who sees him to call and not chase the dog.
