Lucky’s photo and a phone number to call with tips are displayed on billboards on heavily traveled Pittsburgh roads, including Route 28, Race Track Road, Forbes Avenue, West Liberty Avenue and Route 19. The billboard space was donated by Lamar Advertising Agency.

Thousands of people from all over the country are working to bring Lucky back home. More than 10,000 people are part of a Facebook group, “Bring Lucky HOME to PA” to reunite Lucky with his family.

Lucky is a male Airedale terrier mix. He’s 10 years old and a medium-sized dog with a long tail.

Lucky is microchipped, wearing a black collar with a zip-tied flea collar.

Kenneth Crider, the man accused of stealing Lucky in his owner’s car, was arrested in North Carolina after a police chase. Lucky was not in the car.

A $5,000 reward is being offered for Lucky’s safe return.

If you have any information that could help bring Lucky back home, call 1-800-4PA-TIPS.
