Missing Dog Last Seen Near Surf Taco in Point Beach

A $500 reward will go to the person who finds a small, mix-breed dog named "Charlie," last seen near Surf Taco, Route 35, Point Beach.

Charlie, a mostly white Maltese/Yorkie mix, took off on Route 35, towards the Ark restaurant, at about 10 a.m. Monday. He lives in Los Angeles with his owners, who are in the Point Beach area visiting family. 

"He's not from here, so he's probably feeling extra lost," said Jesse Grce. He and his girlfriend are Charlie's owners.

"Since putting up fliers and Facebook posts, we've had a few people spot him," Grce said. "The last one being about 5:30 pm on Route 35 by Surf Taco."

Charlie is "very sweet, but may run away from people if he's scared," Grce said. "If anyone sees him, it may be best to just call me (Jesse) at 626-497-8571 so I can come coax him over so he isn't scared."

Grce said he is offering "a $500 reward for whoever finds Charlie, or leads us to him. He does have a collar on with my number, and he is microchipped."
