To the Editor:

On Saturday, Oct. 1 I spent the day “yard sale hopping” with my dear friend who lives in Surf City.

Sometime in the early afternoon we happened upon a sale located on an empty lot heading toward Bay Village. A lovely woman with blond hair sold me four of her cookbooks.

Later that night in reviewing one of them I discovered tucked in a page a pristine black and white shot of a family dog, taken probably in the 1960s if judged by the square shape and deckled edge of the photo paper.

I suspect this is a long-lost shot of a cherished pet and would like to return it to the owner, but as the sale was set up on an empty lot I can’t retrace the address to contact her.

If you would be so kind to print this I hope we can reunite her with the photo. I know that if it were one of my family dogs I would welcome its return.
