Playing devils advocate...then running from the flames I'm sure will come!
Before bashing the police, please consider the work load they have. YES, finding Zeke is important...to you/us...BUT more important to the police is finding the child who went missing, or catching that murderer, molester, drug dealer, or abuser. In the police departments eyes a missing dog is at the bottom of the totem pole.
Second of all, if someone thought that MY Oliver was a dog that looked like one that went missing, and they tracked down my mother, and put a PI out on us, AND posted a lot of MY information and accused me of being a thief on a public message board, I don't think I would be very happy. Please be very careful that you don't post anything that could possibly be turned against you. What if "Tahoe" does turn out to be Tahoe...not Zeke? It would be a lot of time, energy and resources wasted.
Please know that I want Zeke to be found just as much as anyone else on here (besides Maureen!) But please think twice about posting something personal, or slanderous about someone.
By the way, what would a PI do that can't be done by anyone else, regarding this case?
Hoping for Zeke's safe return!!
