After a week of above normal temperatures, conditions in Carson City, Lyon and Douglas counties are in motion to change some by the weekend, according to the National Weather Service.

A Carson City family is searching for their dog and need help. Bosco is a full grown black male lab. He has a white stripe of fur on his chest and some white around his mouth and chin. See the above photo.

He has a blue collar with tags. He went missing on Friday night, Nov. 8, in the housing unit behind the 7-Eleven on the northeast end of Carson City.

There is a reward for his return. If you see anything, hear anything, or know of someone who might have him, please contact the Robinson Family immediately at (775) 883-2077 or (775) 291-4425.
