Wonders if little chihuahua mix in RS could be lost Tubby

Ed,

There is a small chihuahua mix dog that has been hanging around the Christian Church on Main Street and in the lot behind the Church in Russell Springs for several days. It is brown and looks to weigh about 8 pounds. I guess it is possible that it is the little chihuahua named Tubby that was advertised as being lost a couple of weeks ago. I think they said the last place he was seen was on Main Street.

Thanks,s/MN
