  1. What was the name of the thief? Did it flee to the under bridge Vagrants illegal slum? Was it/they going to eat the poor dog?! Glad it was caught!

  2. I have read that two dogs have been decapitated so I think this is probably not just a story about theft although that is bad enough I am glad that the sheriff is on top of this!
