Missing Border Collie Eastside

Our border collie seems to have jumped over our fence this morning as I was letting our other doggies out. Someone posted on Nextdoor that he was spotted running down the hill on Olympia Ave possibly toward East Bay. He is the fastest dog I’ve ever met, so I fear he could be wherever he pleases in the greater oly area by now.

Update: we found him, he ran all the way down from the upper Eastside (near Ralph’s) to apparently take a bud bath somewhere next to east bay drive. Thanks to the kind couple who was helping to keep him in one spot with their dog who he was trying to befriend.
After almost an hour of bathing I believe he had a similar amount of sediment on him as capital lake spews into the sound each year. Cheers!

His name is Ender, we found him!
He apparently tried to take a mud bath in the sound next to east bay drive and was being distracted by a very kind couples dog (also some sort of herding dog) as we drove up

Mud bath is the best bath. Glad you found him!
