HazyWal Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 I was saddened to read this morning of the passing of Michael Sprague aged just 35 years Some may have followed his Facebook page when in August his beloved dog Masie had run off from Sydney airport when she was about to be put on a flight with Michael to Melbourne. Michael walked the streets day and night for 21 days along with an army of volunteers, complete strangers that became known as "Masie's Army". Over 3000k's, thousands of flyers, his "Please Help Find Masie" facebook page shared around the globe, television and radio on day 21 Masie was found. Michael donated the reward money he had posted to several rescues and helped save some pound dogs including two greyhounds from Tamworth Pound. Hundreds of people turned out to the "meet Masie" day so Michael could thank as many as he could for their help. All was good in his world again. Just 3 weeks ago Michael was diagnosed with cancer and passed away at Royal North Shore Hospital on Sunday. VALE Michael Sprague, you never gave up on finding your best friend, you were an amazing and inspirational young man A link to the Please Find Masie FB page. https://www.facebook.com/PleaseHelpFindMasie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Katdogs Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 Oh, so young, so fast! That's terrible. His poor family, and so many many friends! You couldn't go anywhere in Sydney without hearing about Masie being lost and it was so wonderful when she was finally found. RIP Michael Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
