THis is probably a long shot but I have to try as i have been freaking out all night. Last night my dog went missing but the way it happened is strange. I got home from work about 1610, the dog was outside on two leashes for a bit to get some air. We usually put here near a window to our family room so she can sit under a tree unless i have her on a long lead. I went inside and about 1640-ish went out to walk her and bring her in. She, with both leashes, were gone. What makes it strange is that to get free, with both leashes, would mean either the one slip-knot tied to the fence would have had to have broken or she would have had to manually take them apart, remove the first, then leave with both - highly unlikely. If one did break it is also unlikely that she would have taken off trailing many feet of leash, or wouldnt have made it far. She can be a runner but usually with a leash on even without holding it she wont leave. It is all very strange and it appears that she has been stolen. A Deputy at the Sheriff's office agreed.
We live off of Adams road in Port which is off of Theodore near 276. She is a red colored Shiba Inu. they look like small huskies sort of. Pointed ears and a curled tail. she had a green harness with a black leash and a pink leash. We have had her for around 8 years. We have sent a pic to the cecil county animal control but all indications are that she was taken.
Not that that is bad enough but, if true, there are other implications. My driveway is about 100 feet long plus another 50 to the point where she was. a person would have had to be within 3 feet of a ground floor window right where our family room is. It would have still been light out. If she was taken is was done brazenly - which is making me quite uneasy.
I dont want to point fingers right now but we happened to have had a delivery and install made of appliances yesterday. I cant help but connect the two in my mind. My street is not one that is heavily travelled, a sitting car, or person walking would attract attention, so i dont think this could be someone that has been watching or known of her before. Shiba's are somewhat rare breeds so perhaps that prompted it.
Sorry for the long post, I'm hoping something turns up or she just walks back today from a night in the woods.
thanks
