Lost Canines in eastern Montana.
Description
I lost my Canines on Sunday around 5:45 PM while hiking along the Musselshell River Trailhead, east of Miles City, Montana. They spotted a deer and their leashes came loose; the two dogs bolted into the sage and I lost sight of them as the trail curled around a hill. Scout, a blue heeler with a red collar, and Brix, a brown-lab mix, are usually calm but today they vanished into the fading light. The prairie air was cold and the sun was sinking fast, and my heart tightened with worry. I’ve been checking this site daily, hoping a kind soul has seen them and can point me home. If you’ve seen my Canines, please help guide them back.

How to safely get your item back
A short checklist to protect you and the item during the handoff.
Verify the finder before meeting
- Ask them to describe a detail not shown in your listing, such as an engraving, scratch, or contents.
- Request a clear photo of the item from an angle you did not post.
- Do not pay any release, shipping, or storage fee.
- Do not share your full address until you have verified them.
Meet in a safe, public place
- Police stations, café entrances, transport hubs, and shop foyers all work.
- Meet during daylight hours where there is CCTV and foot traffic.
- Avoid private homes, car parks at night, or isolated locations.
Bring someone with you
- Tell a friend or family member where you are meeting and when.
- Share your live location with them during the handoff.
- For high-value items, consider contacting your local police station for advice first.
Keep communication on lostandfound.io
- Use the in-app message thread so there is a record if something goes wrong.
- Do not move to WhatsApp, SMS, or email until you have exchanged a verifying detail.
- Never share bank details, government ID numbers, or copies of your ID.
