Lost dog stops traffic on Cape Fear Memorial; couple searches for owner

WILMINGTON, NC (WWAY) — A dog caused a slow down Wednesday evening over the Cape Fear Memorial Bridge.

Mike Robbins and Samantha Evenson say they were going with the normal flow around 6 p.m. into Wilmington when cars started slamming on the brakes. After they came to a stop, they noticed a tan and white Chihuahua on the side of the bridge.

“I wouldn’t mind keeping him, but I’d rather him be home,” Evenson said. “He’s obviously somebody’s dog. I don’t want nobody’s New Year ruined by losing their dog.”

Robbins says they will hold it in case someone can identify the dog. He can be reached at (910) 398-0413 or (910) 599-3476. Have proof that the Chihuahua is yours to avoid it being put in the wrong hands.
