MOUNT PLEASANT - The town's top cop is expected to explain in more detail later today the circumstances that brought the missing celebrity pet Enzo back to singer and actress Vanessa Williams.
But police Chief Louis Alagno said the return of the black-and-tan Yorkie that went missing from the actress' fenced yard on Memorial Day proves two things.
Number one, the disappearance was not the result of a celebrity dog napper in northern Westchester, as some have suggested, the chief said.
On Mother's Day, another celebrity pet - a blond dachshund named Gus - ran off the leash of former tabloid publisher Ken Chandler, and has not been seen since.
That incident happened in the Teatown section of Yorktown and prompted the owners to hire a pet detective and a public relations agent to find him.
Then on Memorial Day, Enzo went missing as Vanessa Williams was running an errand.
"I don't know anything about celebrity dog stalkers," the chief said today. "Her dog is back and we're just tying some loose ends up to determine why or how the dog disappeared."
The second thing Enzo's return proves is that the 1-year-old Yorkshire terrier was not snatched by a coyote, as the chief himself had speculated shortly after Williams filed a missing dog report.
All police were saying about finding Enzo was that he was dropped off at a shelter.
