Hey California! Did you Lose your Saluki??

A stray neutered male Saluki dog brought to a Carlsbad, California animal shelter last week has an implanted microchip registered to the U.S. Military headquartered in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.

The dog was found on June 15, 2009 near Escondido, about 30 miles north of San Diego. The shelter believes someone in the military owns the dog and likely brought him from overseas; however, they haven't been able to track down the owner.

Plenty of people have said they would take him but authorities hope the real owner will come forward.

"There's a lot of unanswered questions, and dogs can't talk, so we're kind of restricted as to what information we can get out of him," a shelter rep said, chuckling. "We're trying to put the word out. He is a sweetheart of a dog."
