In the midst of the chaos on the night of the Las Vegas massacre outside of the Mandalay Bay Hotel, a California man’s dog ran away in terror. The French bulldog, named “Roulette,” or “Rou,” was as frightened by the loud noise and screaming at the Route 91 Harvest Festival as any of the people who were present on that terrible night and like so many others, she fled.
Now, her owner, Ryan Needham, is desperate to get her back. Needham has been outside of the perimeter of the crime scene waiting, and hoping, that Rou will hear his voice and return. Needham told News 3 Las Vegas, “We haven’t slept yet.”
A Facebook page to help bring Roulette back to her owner has been established – click here to follow the progress. Any sightings or information about this missing dog should be reported to Ryan at (760) 221-6352

Hope he finds Rou and that she comes back to him safely. The fright this dog had was just as strong for her as it was for people who attended the concert. Shelters should be checked for anyone who may have brought the dog in. Hope she is micro chipped too.
She is home!!!!!
How Frightened This Little Girl Must BE!!!! Hopefully someone will turn her in to a shelter!!! I see she has tags so that may help

ROU IS HOME WITH HER FAMILY!!! It was reported by our local news station. What a happy story for this beautiful little girl!!!
Gizmo”s Mommy thank you for the update.
Praying for Rou’s safe return to her owner. Besides checking the shelters, post pictures of Rou on street lamp posts, bus stops, local shops and nearby Vet offices. Being that Rou is a cute small dog, whoever found her may decide to keep her, especially if Rou had no id, and therefore not surrender her to a shelter.
ROU has been found!!! Reported by local Las Vegas channel 3 and Pet Scene magazine.
Keeping this family in our prayers and hoping Rou is found safe and sound and returned to them.

I responded to everyone in this post because the news Rou has been found is wonderful and I wasn’t sure everyone gets notified when there’s a new post. So I hope you all will forgive me for repeating myself. I also believe good news like this in the middle of such a horrendous tragedy, helps the healing process.
