Owner With Terminal Cancer Missing Dog in Point Loma

A dog with cancer is missing in the Point Loma area and her owner, who is also battling cancer, needs your help finding her.

The collie named Dora was with her owner and his wife. The family was traveling from Colorado to San Diego for treatment for the owner's terminal brain cancer, said sister Noelle LeChevalier-Dufault.

Dora escaped Thursday while in the care of a friend. She was last seen at about 6 in the morning near West Point Loma Boulevard.

“His dog means more to him than almost anything else in the world,” LeChavalier-Dufault said in an email.

The collie has two shaved spots from recent cancer surgeries, including one on each haunch.

The owner’s wife, Monica Hughes, posted about Dora’s disappearance on Craiglist.

Anyone who spots Dora is asked to contact San Diego County Animal Services at 619-767-2675 or call Monica at 303-880-9617.
