ABC News: Prize-winning show dog vanishes at Atlanta airport

quote:

Gale, a pure-bred American Staffordshire Terrier whose owners live in Amsterdam, was being shown in the United States by her handlers and had one final event in Louisville, Kentucky, on Saturday before flying home.


quote:

The handlers brought Gale and another dog to Hartsfield–Jackson Atlanta International Airport, where they checked in for their KLM Royal Dutch Airlines flight and went through security. Not long after the handlers boarded the Amsterdam-bound plane in Atlanta on Saturday afternoon, they were informed that Gale's kennel was found empty when crews went to load her crate onto the aircraft. The handlers immediately called her owners.


quote:

Gale's owners described the dog as "friendly" and "loving," but said she is likely scared and skittish in an unknown area. "We're really missing a family member," Van Essen told ABC News. "We don't have any children, the dogs are our children. Her brother lives here, her mother lives here, and we really want her back home safe."




That poor arse dog ended up in a dog ring somewhere in an Atlanta ghetto and by the looks of it, probably didn't last too long.

Some Atlanta culcha at the airport grabbed him. Probably breeding him soon.

Looks a bit like a pit.

Some baggage handler snagged it.

These Atlanta dudes probably got him after their baggage handler gig ended that day.

Am I overthinking this by suggesting they check the cameras?

That dog is resting under a shade tree with a logging chain around its neck somewhere in the College Park/Hapeville/East Pernt area as we speak

Which does explain some of the %'s and numbers of pitbull attacks. Those %s are at least 5 breeds and not 1.

It's still WAY out of proportion of course

Maybe he just wanted to go for a swim.

They are powerful and quick animals. Lots of dogs will snap, but not as many breeds can do the damage as quickly as these can.

That dog is now tied up on somebody's carport wearing a spike collar.

If they have figured out from the story what this dog is, they’re probably trying to pimp her out to get high end pit puppies.

That's the parent breed of modern Pitt Bulls.

Though I'm sure I'm probably the tenth to mention that.
I should read the comments first, but does anyone?
