Yorkie stolen in NY

[rosey442]

That is so sad that some people would steal a dog away from it's owners and homes. I really hope they find that dog for that little girl.
As far as trackers goes; I think it would be a great idea. Especially since a lot of dogs have been both lost and stolen in recent times. ( meaning the tracker)

I am assuming it would be a GPS-type thing inserted under the skin so it couldn't be removed by a thief. I hear there are tracker watches available for children which I think are great unless the watch is removed.

Think of all the lost puppies that would come home-Pinky, Yoshi, Reese.

It's not actually a GPS type. The one reason I can tell you is that the gps ones aren't as sensitive. The ones dh has, have been known to track dogs that have gotten stuck underground in drainage tiles etc. He makes them as small as for dogs, falcons, turtles, snakes, fish, pretty much anything. He can tell you some stories of some situations in which animals have been found or tracked. It's pretty difficult to make them like a chip that you can implant under the skin due to batteries. He has made them for small dogs and they can be made so they're un-noticable and at least in the situation of a dog napping it will still give you some time to track them down. I will have some more information put together in more proffesional terms so that it's easier to understand. Plus I need to be a donating member here to persue. It's just that everytime I read about someone losing their dog it just tugs at my heart and I feel there is something out there that can help bring some of them home. I just know how I would feel if it were Roxie. I'd just die.

That is horrible!! What kind of person would do that???

[lovespandp]

-shakes head- that is really sad, that poor girl!! I hope she can get her dog back!! People are so messed up these days....

Some people just don't care who they hurt. They only think of what they want. If it's yours, and they want it, they think they have a right to have it.

The amount of missing yorkies on here lately has me realize there is a need for me to become a donating member and make my husbands business a useful tool here. At least it can be an option for some. He makes tracking equipment for dogs, birds, researchers and biologists. There have been dogs found underground because they had their trackers on. We've got customers that have told the most amazing stories of getting their animals back. Could some of you give me some feedback to what you think of this? Just wondering how you all feel about it. These stories break my heart and everytime I read one I think if only they had a tracker.

I would be interested in hearing more details on this.

This story breaks my heart. I hope Pinky is found and back in that girls life soon.

I would be interested in knowing more about this. I would die if i ever lost one of my dogs!

I pray that the News reaches as many people as possible & someone will return Pinky to her!! So SAD!! Hope they find the THIEVES!!

[kidmuzicdotcom]

omg that is so sad

JJC and Mizzwanned-
I've got him working on a collar that will be perfect for yorkies. It needs to be inconspicuous and maybe just look like a regular collar. I want it to look nice for us yorkie owners don't like to put anything just average on our babies lol! If you'd like to take a look at the link you can pm me and I can give it to you.

this is heartbreaking. I pray this girl is soon reunited with her beloved yorkie

Hiya folks been awhile since I've been here, but has anyone heard any updates whether Pinky has been found or not. About a few days ago there was another story about Pinky but just the same story of how she was stolen....hope that girl gets her Pinky back!
