On Wednesday the third of October I came home to discover my house wide open, and my new puppy missing. She is five months old; she is a blue and white American Staffordshire terrier. She is a very distinctive dog, not your average k9, I think I’m correct in saying that theft to make them fighting dogs is quite normal which i cant deal with. I live by myself, and work night shifts at the local bakehouse in Budgewoi. I Leave for work at 2am, so i am assuming it had to be some time between then and sunrise. I found a very strange letter in my mailbox. Getting past the terrible handwriting and poor grammar I managed to work out the message. It read : I hope you learnt your lesson this time mate, don’t go hitting your dogs like you do or the rest will go missing’ Its really frightening. A good friend of mine also had her car stolen from the parking area next to my house. I think someone is trying to get me or has mistaken me for a family member of the owner of the house. I only saying this because i only have one other dog and the note said that “the others will go missing” The owner of the house( who is also a good friend of mine) had five Rhodesian ridgebacks and a smaller dog, but in saying that the grammar is that poor in the letter they may have just had no clue how to write in the English language. I haven’t been able to sleep since they took her only have the day time to try and find her, fall asleep around 10/11pm get back up at 1am to leave for work at 2am, the note has made me to paranoid to leave my other dog at home so i have had to take him too work with me, tie him up all night outside. Apparently my dog is around the 12th or 13th to go missing from my area this month, Its a small town. I have professional a3 posters EVERYWHERE with big clear photos of her and a bold $3000 reward which i am more than happy to give on her safe return, no questions, cops or threats, i just need my dog. I live by myself, moved up the central coast because i wanted a fresh start, i don’t know anybody, i have no enemies and I certainly have never ever hit my dogs, I believe you get better obedience with positive reinforcement rather than punishing when doing the wrong thing. I’m reaching out to everyone possible, the police cant help. I Have an idea where these dogo fighting rings are based. With the right help I think I can put a stop to this. I have the passion. I just need an army. Please help me in anyway you can. Somebody must know SOMETHING
