re: dat yat.... last location of dog.. location updated...

The term “stole” is correct – if I “found” a dog w a neoprene vest, collar (w/ a telephone #) that would lead me to believe it has an owner – its not a mangy cur running through the deer woods w/o a collar –(cue the – would you shoot a dog running thru a deer lease crowd) …… A quick trip to the vet would also show the dog is chipped and has an owner – remember here the dog has a collar w/ contact info on it. At worst the “finder” drops the dog off w/ a vet – vet calls owner either by the caller or chip ID and we have a happy ending. We are not splitting hairs here the dog was alive a couple days after being lost – was in all probability picked up by someone other than the owner and has been kept – in my mind that is stealing (or at a minimum being in possession of stolen property if dog was passed along to someone). Grizz’s return is not due to a lack of searching or informing the area by lost dog posters etc. Time to call a spade a spade, IMO Grizz was stolen – hopefully an honest citizen sees Grizz and reports it to police or calls Choupique and we have a happy ending. GSPs are pretty rare so I bet someone is wonder what that funny spotted colored “hound” is behind a trailer, IMO if he was a lab it would be harder to ID. Over my time I have found a couple of dogs, helped recover a stolen dog and had a runaway returned to me – all w/ 100X less effort than I have seen in trying to get Grizz back. Good luck and I hope for a happy ending
