Sebring,Beloit,Damascus and Alliance,Ohio dog lovers,will you help me find my dog?

Question

I live in Sebring,Ohio.On May 2nd,my dog escaped from my fenced yard.She is 13 years old,dark reddish - brown with tan points (like a Doberman),a white chest and greying muzzle.She's about 60 lbs.with shepherd - type,upright ears.She's wearing a collar with a red Mahoning county license,and she is very shy.Her name is "Cowdog".She was lost once before,in December,and was found on Johnson Road,by the old Little Tykes plant.If you live nearby,would you please be on the lookout for her? Her sister,and her family miss her terribly.

Update: Cowdog has been found!She was hanging out in the woods behind the local elemantary school.A man called yesterday and told me she was in front of the school,so we went and got her.She is a bit stiff and dirty,but she's OK!

I find that children are most aware of dogs, so, if you have a child that can go with you to ask children that you see in your area, and show them a picture of your dog..Children are taught to not speak to strangers looking for a dog, but your 'child' (friend or relative) can approach the kids and show the picture, while you wait well away..
