Found dog needs his family back

This sweet little dog was found in a dangerous spot yesterday.  He was picked up by a concerned East Texan walking down the middle of Shiloh in Tyler at around 4:15 pm on Tuesday.  He was near a daycare center, near the large hill. 

The veterinarian who checked him thinks he's about ten years old; no microchip or collar.  Contact StephanieFrazier@kltv.com if you think you know who he is.
