A local woman found a new furry friend while out walking her dog on Monday, but she is looking for his family now.
WOODSTOCK - They are known for being true escape artists. Tiny, cute, fury hamsters. A local woman found a pet hamster wondering the streets of Woodstock. The cute little guy has been appropriately named "Houdini."
Christina Van Galen found the furry little friend while out walking her dog on Monday.
"I found it just cruising down the gutter line in the area of Bain and Hunter Streets."
Van Galen says she couldn't believe her eyes when she saw the little guy, who by the way likes his belly rubbed.
You can contact the Heart FM news room and we will reconnect you with your lost little fury family member.
