Amazing! I hope this dog is returned to its owner safely and the responsible for it can get a wake-up call from the police.

Lassie, come home. After his beloved beagle mix, Edna, disappeared on Halloween night, Bill Whiting did what any dog owner might: He offered a reward in posted fliers around the neighborhood and anxiously waited for a call, MyFoxPhilly.com reports. When the phone rang, however, the news was not what he was expecting. "He said, "Mister, I got your dog. You don't believe it? You want me to hurt it so you can hear?" I pleaded with them not to hurt the dog," Whiting said of the caller, one of several kids who he recalled has a "young voice" and apparently is holding for ransom Edna, his canine companion of more than 12 years. The distressed dog owner said the boy threatened to kill Edna if he does not hand over a large sum of money; he already had offered $500 for the canine's safe return... |
That's really horrible, especially due to the dogs age, and the generous reward already on offer from the owner!
I hope the dog is returned safely, and swiftly home!
Years ago our dog was kidnapped, and the woman phoned us up but refused to return the dog. My Husband called her bluff and said that there were already 300 'missing posters' out there, and if she didn't return the dog, then he would put another 300 posters up, so that she wouldn't even be able to bring the dog outside without the public recognizing the dog from the posters. The dog was returned the next day by tying him to our gate post!
I still can't fathom what makes these sick people tick, and why they would take it out on a small animal, is just sick!
