Special Report: Doggy Detective

Jennifer Gibbons, Upset over lost dog
"I can’t describe the feeling. It's such a feeling of loss and we just want him back."

The past couple of days have been a lonely void for this South End couple. Ever since their 8- month-old Griffon named Buckley ran off from the dog walker.

"He's our baby so he's the world to us, so it’s really important that he gets back."

The Gibbons worked tirelessly to find him - posting hundreds of fliers and working the phones. But one call to Portland, Oregon may be their best hope yet.

"Yesterday at 5 p.m. is the last time he was seen."

On the other end of the line - John Keane - a.k.a Sherlock Bones - a pet detective - even to the stars

"Robert Redford, Goldie Hawn, Jim Carey, Shannon Doughtery."

For $75.00, the Gibbons get unlimited consulting, a flier makeover, and contact with vets and shelters within a 25-mile radius.

"I lay out from "A" to "Z". What they should be doing, what they're not doing and why it'll make a difference."

"I hope he can crack the case."

Turns out Sherlock Bones didn't have to - Buckley was found - his paw badly hurt. His return all thanks to a woman in Roxbury who called the number on his dog tags.

"We jumped into the car, ran 4 or 5 lights. Sorry, cops, but we were just panicked we had to get over there."

"It's a miracle, it fills you up."

"We won't have to go to bed tonight with an extremely empty feeling inside, because he's here now. Having him in our arms... you can't beat it."

Now that search is over another is just beginning. The couple wants to find that Roxbury woman who found Buckley. They were in such a hurry to get the puppy to the vet - they didn't get a chance to properly thank her.
