My little poodle, Katie, was so tiny people assumed she was a puppy until they got up close to her and then it was obvious she was a senior. Some city workers were on my street trimming trees, so they were in my neighborhood for a few weeks. I took Katie out for a bathroom break around noon then went inside for something for 5 minutes and one of the men came in my yard and grabbed Katie during that time. My fence was wrought iron so they saw her from the street and I think they thought she was a puppy. I was devastated, had all my neighbors and friends helping me look for her. I approached the city workers and I always had a feeling they had her, they acted very odd when asked if they had seen my dog. I put signs everywhere within a 10 mile radius of my house with her picture and an offer of a reward. It was the longest week of our life, me and my children were heartbroken. One day my doorbell rang ( 7-10 later) and it was one of the city workmen holding Katie in his arms, he asked for the reward first thing then came up with an unbelievable story that he found her in a ditch several streets away from my home.... Under some brush...yada yada yada.... Katie was very clean - she had not been in any brush!! I am convinced he took her home thinking she was a puppy then realized she was an older dog then when he saw the reward sheet he returned her. I paid him the reward without any questions because we were SO thrilled to get her back!! Even knowing the man had stolen her!!
I will pray for the safe return of your baby! It s frightening how brazen bad people have become! They will walk in your yard to take anything they want!


It is just not right!! Don't give up... Put posters up offering a reward and hopefully that will entice the people to return her...? I pray you get your baby back soon!

That is so messed up and he probably was the one who took it. At least you got her back!
