The Lions Foundation of Canada Dog Guides is thanking the public for its help in locating a missing poodle.

Bronte, a 14-month-old standard poodle, ran off from her dog sitter’s home in Binbrook on Sunday afternoon.

The organization said she was last seen on Nebo Rd. and Twenty Rd. around 8 a.m. Monday.

Dog Guides staff received a call from a hydro employee who spotted the puppy around 8 a.m. Tuesday. They say the worker kept his distance and spoke calmly to Bronte. He then called the organization and staff members arrived within five minutes.

Dog guides contacted Bronte’s dog sitter who came to the area with her dog, Minnie. Bronte recognized the pair and walked over to be put back on her leash.

They say Bronte has been given food and water and seems to be okay. She is now being checked by their vet.

Bronte is a “career change” dog who was disqualified from the dog guide programs due to temperament and/or health reasons. She is currently up for adoption.

The Lions Foundation of Canada Dog Guides works to assist Canadians with a medical or physical disability by providing them Dog Guides at no cost.
