If only 25 YT members donated $5 each - - we could buy Mary the basic package at FindToto.com

I'd be absolutely willing to do it!!!

What does everyone think? Could FindToto.com work??

Who knows if it will work, but its definitely worth a shot!!! It couldn't hurt! The more people aware of the missing baby, the better!!!

Lily5 · 03-12-2009, 02:51 PM

I would donate too! just let me know!

xxmxaxrxyxx · 03-12-2009, 04:02 PM

i want to thank everyone for everything you are doing...without your support and help i don't think i could make it...with disappointment after disappointment...my heart breaks more and more with each passing day...

tomorrow marks exactly 3 weeks since he has gone missing...and i am lost without him...i don't know if in fact anyone on yt has him...it is just that this is a public site...and my fear is the person that has him may be following my thread on the search for yoshi...

i am not saying anyone has him..but there is a slight chance that they are reading everything i have posted because being this long with him with no intentions to give him back i too would be on the internet researching about the breed..and of course YT is the first to pop up in a google search.

if i get him back i won't press any charges my main concern is his safety and having him home. finding him with the intention to keep him would be considered a theft..and his cost would be consider a felony. i won't go into detail with how much he cost me..but just know it is a felony...anything over $500 is a felony...

i don't care about who, why, what, when or how...just need him back home where he belongs...

Oh! my heart just breaks for you. My eyes are full of tears. Everyday I so hope that you have gotten your little man back. Prayers for you and Yoshi.

Obie · 03-12-2009, 04:15 PM

Is this the postcard by AKC? The more awareness in the surrounding area this dog is still missing, the better. Count me in!

Mommy_2_Roxy · 03-12-2009, 04:27 PM

Mary, would you be interested in us funding a search using FindToto.com?
A few have responded with yes - so I wanted to know how you feel.
Check out the site and let us know. I know a TON of YT'ers would be more than happy to donate!!

All of our hearts are breaking for you! We just wish we could do something.

Please let us know if this is something you'd like. Take care hon!

Perhaps I should not even voice this thought here but perhaps if the culprit is reading this, it might give pause for thought.

Is there any possible way that that geographical area could be isolated in their interaction on this website?

I know it sounds far-fetched but I also know that computers and service providers, etc. have ways and means we general users "know not of."

To Yoshi's jailer: I pray that you will have a good old-fashioned case of guilt...that your conscience will not allow you to continue in your "rescue" of Yoshi. Deep within your heart, you know this Yorkie was not abandoned nor abused. You know that. I'm sure you love Yoshi, but will you be able to continue to like yourself knowing that you have separated an owner from her beloved Yorkie? Do the right thing and get Yoshi back to Mary. Trust me...you'll sleep better at night and you will be able to respect yourself again. You know what is right. Just do it!

Mary, I really believe this will have a good outcome. So many people are praying for you and Yoshi. In the same sense they are praying that whoever has Yoshi will have that nagging feeling of conscience that they will be unable to ignore. No matter what lie they are trying to believe, they know your Yorkie is a beloved pet. The mind cannot help but eventually believe what the heart cannot deny.

Blessings,
TOY

I don't have a problem with it but don't feel right about accepting it...i am thankful to be a part of such a great community...thank you

mimimomo · 03-12-2009, 04:56 PM

I'm willing to help out...Mary, please just accept our help...it's the least we can do for you & Yoshi. I'm sure you'd help me if you could if I were in your shoes. I actually saw a segment about FindToto.com on the news the other day...it's worth a try.

Obie · 03-12-2009, 05:03 PM

Mary do you realize this is a humanistic story? The public eats this stuff up! The local newspaper in your area would grab this story and run with it. Free of charge. You should forward this whole thread to a reporter that writes for your local newspaper and believe me, they will run with this story. THIS IS WHAT SELLS NEWSPAPERS! Not the ad in the tiny square under Lost and Found. It than gets passed on to Fox News or your local TV channel. I know, I've been there. People eat this stuff up and suddenly you'll have calls coming out of the wall. People in your local neighborhood wanting to do whatever they can do to help you but are probably on aware you lost your dog. If this girl has your dog they'll flood her neighborhood. Local teachers in her school will be talking about this story. Before you know it, it could hit the front page of the newspaper!

MicaDixie · 03-12-2009, 05:18 PM

My heart aches for you!!! I hope Yoshi finds his way home soon!!

btw...I agree with Obie, this would be a great article and has potential for lots of coverage. It's worth a shot to get the word out!
