Eddy The Terrier Will Be At Horsham Day 2019

HORSHAM, PA — A four-legged celebrity of sorts will be making an appearance at Horsham Day 2019.

Eddy, the little terrier who went missing for 45 days, only to show up in New Jersey, will be in attendance at the celebration, set for Saturday, June 1, at Deep Meadow Park. He'll be meeting friends and fans at the table for Team Ruby, a local rescue group dedicated to finding lost dogs.

On March 4, the shaggy pup had only lived in Horsham for hours — after his humans moved from California — when he went missing. Team Ruby and others searched and searched. But it would be 45 days later when he'd be rescued W across the Delaware River in Stockton, N.J.

At the time, Eddy's story became a bit of a local phenomenon. A Facebook post about his rescue by Horsham Police was seen by more than 100,000 people. The Patch story about Eddy's rescue was shared on Facebook nearly 2,500 times.

A free shuttle bus provided by the Hatboro-Horsham School District will be picking up Horsham Day attendees at the high school and Simmons Elementary. Buses will begin running at 10 a.m. Saturday and will drop off and pick up at Deep Meadow Park until 9 p.m.

After the evening fireworks, buses will be picking up at Keith Valley Road. Riders will need to walk from Deep Meadow Park to Carpenter Park and Keith Valley Road, using the walking trail that connects the two parks.
