More on Lost Whippet, Vivi

Link: Animal House: Ray of hope.

Local researchers canvassing the area where Vivi the whippet was sighted more than two weeks ago say workers there have told them they spotted a dog matching Vivi's description as recently as four days ago.

Surviving in that area of the airport is hardly unheard of for a small dog like Vivi, even in the dead of winter: Workers also report that previously, a small poodle took up residence in the sparsely trafficked cargo area for more than a year.

Today's snowfall provides hope that Vivi's tracks might be spotted overnight. Searchers believe she sleeps during the day in one of the area's unoccupied but heated cargo buildings, and hunts at night.

Vivi's owners are also working with the Port Authority to see how much expanded access they can get to the largely restricted area in the hopes of giving a pet detective the lattitude he or she might need in order to adequately search the area.

I heard on the news last weekend that someone here in Ohio had found a Whippet in their backyard that fit the description of ViVi. The last I heard someone was coming to examine the dog to see if it was indeed Vivi. It's been almost a week now and nothing has been mentioned on the news. Was the dog ViVi that was found in Ohio??? It seems like it was because the dog was reported very well groomed.
