VANCOUVER -- Update: Burnaby RCMP said the dog, named Sakura, was reunited with her owners on the weekend. Read more from the RCMP.
Mounties in Burnaby took to social media to find the owner of a lost dog that showed up at their detachment Friday morning.
"This poor girl has somehow made her way to our detachment at Deer Lake in Burnaby," wrote Burnaby RCMP in a tweet posted shortly after 12:30 p.m. on New Year's Day.
"As much as we enjoy her, we wish to reunite her with her family," the tweet continued.
Police included a photo of the apparently lost pet - a large, white, fluffy dog that Twitter users recognized as a samoyed.
A few hours later, just after 4 p.m., Mounties had still not found the dog's owner.
They said in a follow-up tweet that they had named the dog "Snow" and that they would soon be handing her over to the BC SPCA.
