Dog Stolen From A Veteran: UPDATE

Joe,

Just wanted to alert you to the fact that some heartless idiot took an 8 month old male pit bull from a local disabled female veteran's yard off Pembroke Drive yesterday. She is needless to say heart broken that her baby Smoke was taken out of her yard. She served her country and contracted a terminal blood disease. In addition to fighting the disease, she has had to battle breast cancer, not once but twice, and has developed heart disease but keeps getting up everyday and working on completing her master's degree while working for the state as an unemployment insurance adjudication specialist. She has pictures of Smoke on her Facebook page under Toni Sturgis. I know you've posted lost and found dogs on the past and hope you can help Smoke return to his family.

So sorry to hear this & hope he's found.
In these days/times one can not take for
granted their animals will be safe, left
alone in a fenced yard. There are some
crazy people out there!

God Bless hope you get your dog back soon. Be suspicious of anyone with a new puppy fitting this description and report it to the police.

There are 3 or so pits on the humane society lost and found page. Not sure if one of them could be it.

So glad the dog was found, but wasn't it a jump to say the dog was stolen? Sounds like he escaped the yard and ran off.
