14 is very old for a labrador.

Missing Valley County man found dead in Lake Cascade

The Valley County Sheriff’s Office said a citizen spotted Ekman's Polaris General in about ten feet of water near the south of Boulder Creek boat launch, and called dispatch. The missing man's body was inside the UTV.

Detectives say it appears that Ekman's Polaris got stuck in the sand on the steep embankment, then rolled into the lake.

Cheech was not found, authorities say, and there did not appear to be any dog tracks in the sand.

Yep- ours is 13 1/2 and we never expected him to get so old! They’re so faithful to their people...

I was hoping he might have been found by now. I hope his dear master didn't suffer too much, and hope Cheech is now safe, whether in this world or the next.
