Good thoughts needed for neighborhood dog owner

**IRescue452** · 05-18-2006, 08:16 PM

In the paper today I read a sad and scarey story. A guy in my town let his golden retriever out in his front yard to go to the bathroom a few nights ago and as he stood at the door waiting a car pulled up an a person grabbed the dog and sped off. They threw the collar out the door as they drove off. The police think the dog was probably stolen as a bait dog. I hope he finds it. I going to have to keep a good eye on Autumn when we are outside. When we moved here our neighborhood was considered safe as compared to other towns, now I'm hoping when I'm done with college to find a house off the highway where people don't usually drive or walk, somewhere with a service road between me and humanity.

I hope the dog is found safe, I don't even want to imagine what the owner is feeling right now.

Oh no! Good vibes to them!

They did not happen to get a license plate number or any other details (colour, make, model) of what the car or person(s) looked like?

All he got was that it was a red ford taurus and a gold van had turned around to follow it. They don't know if the van was helping the theifs or trying to catch them. I'd assume by now the person in the van would have told them the license plate number if he weren't involved in the crime.
