Lost in Indianapolis – Celebrity Look-Alike Canine Hero named Matt Damon!

Lost in Indianapolis – Celebrity Look-Alike Canine Hero named Matt Damon!

Just like in the movies, Matt Damon is a hero. In this case, Matt Damon is a beloved, celebrity look-alike, female, canine hero.

I am nine years old and have this job walking two dachshunds, June & Ward (not celebrity look-alikes), for my neighbor. One day about a month ago, it was cold outside when I went to walk them, so little Ward’s collar just slipped off. I turned to catch him, but at the same time, felt June’s collar slipping off too so I turned around and clipped her collar back on. By then, Ward had vanished from the scene!

Immediately, I ran home, tied June on the porch, opened the door, and hollered for my mom. The next three hours were spent frantically looking for Ward with many neighbors helping in the search. We were desperate and it was getting colder and darker by the minute.

A neighbor named, Shannon was out walking her incredible celebrity look-alike dog, appropriately named, Matt Damon, when she heard the bad news. Shannon sent Matty to join the search and in less than ten minutes, the superhero sniffed her way to success! Matt Damon rescued the shivering, tiny puppy from behind a bush in an abandoned lot.

After much praise (bones) and even a congratulatory search party dinner, thrown in her honor, it became Matt Damon’s turn to be devastatingly lost. Proud Shannon felt safe to leave Matt Damon at her sister’s house for the Thanksgiving holiday. For no apparent reason, the heroic dog slipped away from a warm campfire and has not been seen since the evening of November 29th. Lost in Indianapolis at about 65th and Keystone, friends & neighbors have scoured the streets, vets, lost dog websites, and animal shelters. But, we do not have our hero to help us search and have not been able to find this gorgeous, white and tan lab mix.

**UPDATE - This was written to help in the search.  Matt Damon has been found!
