I'm glad he was found safe and sound but I just don't understand how anyone could put a dollar value on a pet. I hope that this dog is placed in a home where he will be safe and loved, whether it is with the co-owner or with a new family.

Thanks for posting this. I was at that show this weekend,. There was some buzz around the show on Saturday that it seemed there was more to the story than just a dognapping. I'm glad the poor pup is safe.

I saw the dog owner interviewed on the local news last night (apparently before her precious pooch was found). She blamed terrorists for taking her dog. Terrorists? At a dog show? Puhleze.

Don't get me wrong. I'm glad that they found her dog and I hope that they can work out the ownership issues.
