STRUTHERS

A missing seeing-eye dog is home safe now with his owner.

Gannon, and 8-year-old German shepherd belonging to Sam Vona of Creed Street, was found about 10 a.m. wandering on Clingan Road near Poland High School without his collars and identification tags, Vona said late this morning.

He had been missing since Saturday evening after suddenly running out of the Vonas’ yard. The family feared he had been stolen.

Vona, who only has 2 percent of his sight, said his reunion with Gannon prompted tears.

“Tears of joy.”
