A Norwalk man is asking for the public's help finding his dog after it got loose in someone else's care.

Loki is a 12-year-old boxer-pit bull mix.

His owner was away over the weekend and left Loki with someone else, only to return and find the dog had gotten out.

Loki was last seen in the area of Connecticut and Richards avenues.

He is very timid and should not be chased.

"He is shy, he's a needy dog. He always wants to be on top of me. Sometimes he does get away and get out and I find him. But this time he really for four days, he's been missing," said Kimball Lew-Hanson.

Lew-Hanson says Loki is wearing a black collar with a gray clip but no tags.

Loki is light brown with a white patch on his chest.

Anyone with information is asked to call 203-858-1971.
