Tessa Lehane has been missing since Christmas Eve.
The search for Tessa Lehane has gone on for a month and a day now. Even with the recent sightings map, it would seem that Dennis Lehane and the team at Finding Tessa have concluded one of two things: “Now that Tessa's been gone a month, we've concluded she's either a.) Still miraculously roaming thru the wilds of Brighton, Brookline, and Allston and has yet to stick her head up long enough to be rescued; or b.) In the custody of someone who, we hope, is taking great care of her.” But there is a more pressing issue with Tessa, which Lehane said needs to be addressed.

What do you think about missing dog signs in town?
Yesterday, we ran an article about the town’s displeasure with the missing signs for Tessa Lehane. In response, Dennis Lehane wrote: "I can see the town of Brookline's point.

The town of Brookline and the city of Boston have been nothing but supportive during this situation and we thank them wholeheartedly." A few readers responded to this: Bill Davidson: "Oh, Brookline, you love to rain on a parade, don't you? Don't ever change." Carol Post Pfaelzer: "Unbelievable!

As Mr. Lehane understands the Town of Brookline allows a reasonable period of time to post lost dog notices, yard sale advertisements, offers to teach guitar and all the other material which we see taped to lamp posts and utiltity polls. Without an occassional 'clean-out' we'd be overrun with them. I'm sure you've all witnessed times when the posting have gotten out of hand. Before he was asked … more ›
