FAIRFIELD, NJ - On Friday afternoon, Brinda Lydecker Kostro realized that her Yorkshire Terrier, Rocky, had gotten loose at her place of business at Exide Technologies which is located in the industrial park near the airport at 12 Dwight Place, Fairfield. Kostro explained it was "Take Your Dog to Work Day" and at some point Rocky became nervous and ran outside through an open door. The Fairfield and West Caldwell Police have been notified, along with area shelters and animal hospitals. The family is offering a reward for information leading to finding Rocky again.

I am a single mom of a handicapped son and
we both have been crying non-stop.
I posted around 100 fliers between Fairfield and West Caldwell,
I am trying so hard to find him," Brinda Kostro explained.
"To my son and I, Rocky is also Rocky-doo-doo or Little Guy.
He's very friendly and very submissive;
he'll usually roll onto his back or crouch down when approached.
He is so tiny, and has an over-bite and his little tongue will stick out sometimes.
He means the world to my son and I.

It was "Bring Your Dog to Work Day, so I did," said Kostro. 
"Rocky stayed in my office and on my chair all day. 
One of our salesmen came in and asked
if I could let him follow him into the warehouse.
I was reluctant, but he said he would be okay.
Then one-minute later he runs in saying
Rocky got scared and bolted out an open garage door. 
I stayed for hours looking for him, and nothing.
There are thick woods there that border the airport,
but I really doubt he ventured there. 
The ground was soft and I didn't see any paw prints around. 
He is so tiny, and all alone."
