Tuesday night's Vivi search party turned up 50 volunteers, reports organizer Bonnie Folz of Howard Beach, who provided hot chocolate and bone-shaped Scooby Snack cookies for sustenance. (Many people thought the latter were actually dogs treats, reports Bonnie, who is always good -- maybe too good -- with a theme.)
"Extremely frustrating because so many of the abandoned buildings are inaccessible," wrote searcher Joanne Anderson of Long Island in an email. "You can see lights on inside, but you can't get to them. Gives you this eerie feeling that you are walking or driving right by [Vivi]."
The two search dogs brought in on Tuesday night to sniff Vivi out did not pick up any fresh scents.
In other news, psychic Beatrice Lydecker reportedly flew into New York this morning because, according to Vivi's breeder, Bo Bengtson, "she is getting the message that Vivi is tired and cold."
While Team Vivi has profusely praised the Port Authority for its help and cooperation, they can't say the same for the airline in whose care she was lost.
"Individual Delta employees have been helpful with transportation, hotel rooms, etc., but the airline has in no way offered to participate in the search after the first day (when one Delta employee drove with Jil in the Port Authority car on the initial search)," wrote Bo in an email. He added that Delta officials would not comment on whether an internal investigation is going on.
Vivi's co-owner, Jil Walton, is due to return to New York today, with Bo set to follow within the next couple of days.

I work with Pet Rescue in Larchmont, NY (Westchester County) Please let me know if you need me to help. We have been through this more times than I care to remember and we always get our dog! The BEST advice that has never let us down is that dogs tend to come out of hiding just before the break of day. The owner needs to cut up small strips of clothing and leave them in areas where the dog initially took off into. She will come out when the owner comes back, and you would be totally amazed with how long they go without looking for food when they are freightened. I pray for her safe return, but I know she will be found alive. GO BACK TO WHERE SHE TOOK OFF FROM, THEY ALWAYS GO IN CIRCLES.
Kudos to the media for keeping this story alive, to the Port Authority for all of their help and to all of the volunteers. Please don't give up until we have a happy ending reuniting Vivi with her Mom & Dad. I pray that she is found soon and safe. I wish I could do more but from California it is tough. Vivi come out, come out wherever you are!
As the owner of two beautiful whippets, who are the loves of my life, my heart is breaking for this dog and her people. I just want to thank everybody for the hugh effort that's being made to find her. If there was any way possible for me to be out there searching with you I would, but I live in Oregon and have a fulltime job I need to be at and my own two dogs. Please find her so she can go home and be safe and warm and I can stop crying.
