Westminster Dog Is Missing!

I was just wondering...why don't they bring in a tracking dog to search for her? Seems to me it would stand a much better chance of finding her that a human would.

I hope the poor thing is found soon before the cold gets to her.

Has anyone seen the story that CNN Headline News is running today about the missing Whippet? Did anyone find it as offensive and a mockery of the situation as I did? They're being sarcastic and comical about this little dog's disappearance. I was so angry, I emailed them about it and asked them to please stop making light of such a tragic story. I told them that we have enough problems with animal abuse and neglect in this country and there's no point in them making a joke about it to encourage such ignorance to continue. I asked them how they would feel if one of their human children were missing like that and I pointed out how many people throughout the world see their pets as family members. Grrrrrrr!!!

No I didn't see it. I'm so glad you emailed them. I will watch CNN tonight to see if they talk about it and I'll check their website.

OMG Poor Vivi! I hope they find her soon

Thanks. I just think it stinks and I'm shocked that they would be so unfeeling and so careless. What in heaven's name would they find humorous about this story? I know they must have some caring pet owners as their employees. I also told them that I'm sure I'm not the only person they have heard from today about this as well. Many people, that don't love animals as we do, would feel I'm over re-acting but I don't think I am

All I need to know is how it made me feel.

I haven't received a reply back to my email as of yet but I noticed the last time they ran the story, the two commentators at the desk, seemed to be a little more sympathetic about how this story will most likely end up

I just hope that my begging in the email had some influence on somebody.

I was talking to my mom about it,and it seems kind of odd that she could just escape from her cage.Maybe it wasnt latched all the way or something,but we think someone stole her. Its difficult for a dog to escape from a cage. We think someone may have stole her

Poor thing. I hope she's found soon.
