Please Help! Stolen Yorkie from Sarasota Fl

[crystalsmom]

Just seeing this and my heart was breaking for you until I read you have her back. Chills are running up and down my spine.

Nothing but a miracle here. All of you have a wonderful holiday.

I knock on the door and she answers the door, not seeming surprised and actually a little annoyed. I ask if this was her dog and she said that she "puts her out in the morning to do her thing and she eventually makes her way back"...I was floored. I told her that we have coyotes and ospreys who live in the neighborhood that would have no problem grabbing her. She responded that she had just moved from Georgia and didn't know. I told her they have Ospreys and Coyotes in Georgia. I handed her the dog and mentioned that she may also want to put a collar on her. I walked home thinking that that dog will end up missing or dead or both. Other neighbors I talked to also said they saw the dog running around, after all, we dog owners know our neighborhood doggies, so I'm not surprised that someone picked up the dog WITH NO COLLAR and walking around free. Perhaps another concerned neighbor. I heard from a neighbor who has a blue car who was accused of taking the dog (but didn't, apparently, they were walking around the neighborhood looking for blue cars and knocking on doors!). I'm a dog lover and this woman doesn't know how to take care of this little life. I am POSITIVE that I will see it running around again, soon enough!

You became a member to write that and then left? I find that kind of odd! There was another person who pointed out in a group of people that they saw a blue car nearby. I wonder if the other person who pointed it out went to the door. I am not sure I don't have all the details of that. I would go knocking on doors with blue cars and handing them a flyer if I knew my dog was taken by a blue car.

Very odd...and...wow...just wow!!!

You don't have to be a member to READ YT posts, but this ex-member probably already knows that.

Probably not a good thing if any more dogs in that neighborhood go 'missing'...but with a 'considerate neighbor' like this one watching out for the other neighbors' dogs, maybe it will never happen again.

WOW...What a shame!....I knew there was something else to this story. Even after you told her about the coyotes & ospreys the dog was still not on a leash. I pray that nothing else happens to this dog. This really upsets me.
