LOST DOG!

Our dog Biscuit is lost. We last saw him on Monday afternoon in Ha-Yarkon Park, near the playground.

Biscuit is a small brown dog with white ears and a short tail. He is wearing a red collar with his name on it. He is very friendly, but he is afraid of loud noises. If you see him, please don't run after him. Call his name softly and show him food. He loves cheese!

Biscuit is eight years old, and he is part of our family. My little sister cries every night. If you find him, please call Gabe at (555) 000-0000. We will give a prize to the person who finds him.

Thank you!
