lost dog?

About 1:00 PM on Monday, Dec.9 , I spotted a little toy poodle-sized dog, black, on the Winbourne side of Scottsville Road.  I couldn't stop.  About a half hour later I searched a few streets in the area to no avail.  I don't know if he/she was lost, or was just out for a little stroll on her/his own.

If I can help, please call me at 235-0851.
