Blue dog harness with paw-print tag
Description
I found a blue dog harness this afternoon around 3:15pm in the parking lot behind the Meijer on Markland Ave in Kokomo. It's a small-to-medium nylon harness with a white paw-print design on the chest strap and a pink heart-shaped tag hanging from the D-ring that reads 'Lucky'. The buckle is a bit scratched, but all straps are in good condition. It carries a mild shampoo scent, like it was worn recently. I know how nerve-wracking it is to lose gear like this, so I hope this helps reunite a furry friend with their family soon. If this is yours, tell me the dog's name on the tag or the approximate harness size to verify.

How to safely return this item
A short checklist to protect you and the item during the handoff.
Verify the owner before handing it back
- Ask the claimant for a specific identifying detail before confirming.
- If valuable, ask for a photo with matching ID, receipt, or original packaging.
- Never post the precise location publicly. Share it only with a verified owner.
- Do not accept payment to return it. That is a red flag for a scam claim.
Meet in a safe, public place
- Police stations, café entrances, transport hubs, and shop foyers all work.
- Meet during daylight hours where there is CCTV and foot traffic.
- Avoid private homes, car parks at night, or isolated locations.
Bring someone with you
- Tell a friend or family member where you are meeting and when.
- Share your live location with them during the handoff.
- For high-value items, consider contacting your local police station for advice first.
Keep communication on lostandfound.io
- Use the in-app message thread so there is a record if something goes wrong.
- Do not move to WhatsApp, SMS, or email until you have exchanged a verifying detail.
- Never share bank details, government ID numbers, or copies of your ID.
