Dog-napped Lab returned home safely
By cuzzy | February 18, 2008
A possibly tragic story has a happy ending today.
Huckleberry, the victim of a weekend dog-napping, has been returned safe and sound.
“Thank God he’s okay,” said owner Bert Clark. “I haven’t slept in two days. I’m a wreck.”
The chocolate Labrador was returned home late Sunday after police received a tip from the alleged doggy-nappers. Clark didn’t reveal whether or not he issued the $15,000 reward he promised, saying that the ordeal has left him too exhausted to comment.
“He’s healthy, he’s safe, and he’s happy to see me,” Clark said.
The dog was reported missing on Saturday morning after he disappeared outside a Yonge St. and Roxborough St. bakery.
Clark immediately offered $15,000 as a reward for the safe return of his dog.
“There isn’t any sum of money that I would associate with him,” Clark said last night during a break from searching for his pet. “Life isn’t about money – it’s about the connection you make with other souls. Huckleberry was like my soulmate.”
Huckleberry went missing while he was in the care of a dog walker, Clark said. She left the pooch tied up outside a bakery at Roxborough andYonge Sts., and came out several minutes later to find him gone.

IÂ have never trusted leaving Bosco tied up outside while I go into a store and if I did I would make sure there was direct sight of him. How awful to steal someone else’s dog. Can you imagine how the dog walker felt?
I am glad it got resolved. Huckleberry looks like a pretty sweet guy and based on what I know about my lab, they will go home with anyone.

This is a good article to highlight this problem. Dogs are actually stolen all the time. Dog owners need to be careful whenever they have a dog that is vulnerable i.e. in a car, tied up in the yard, outside a store, etc.

Thank God that precious pooch is okay! I, too would pay any sum of money if any of my pets ever went missing.
