ELI -- MISSING FROM SALEM, VIRGINIA MISSING DATE: 6-1-02 RECOVERED

We just got the news a couple hours ago that Eli has been found! He is safe and OK and has been put in a stall until we can go get him later today. He was found two farms over from where he was when he disappeared. Can you cancel the alert on the web site? Thanks much for your help and the use of the web site!

At first we thought that if he jumped the fence he would be found in a couple of days so there was no sense of urgency to do much other than alert the local neighbors. After 10 days we got really worried and started plastering the area with posters and sending emails, etc. He mysterly shows up 1/2 mile away! Guess we should have put the posters up sooner. Oh well, he is safe now! Thanks for your help!
