I was watching the news and they had a thing on about a family who's havanese was stolen. They went on vacation and left the puppy with a friend to watch. Someone broke into their friends house and stole a few electronic devices and their puppy.

I thought I'd list the info below in case anyone see's anything. If they post the flyer online I'll copy that picture to here as well. It looks like she's a sable and it says she's about 7lbs. Mostl white with brown markings around face ears & tail. She answers to Izzy and she may still be wearing a pink collar.

My heart just goes out to them cause she looks and acts so much like Capote. If you see anything there's a 2000 dollar reward no questions asked and the number is 2144051324. Aparently the puppy is the companion of two little girls ages 6 and 3 and they're just crushed.

Nice to see you back, Capotes Mom. How shocking! I will be on the lookout.

I've been a busy girl! Starting my own business so it's been kinda crazy.

Izzy, a victim of burglary...

We have a number of items on the agenda today and one of them is going to simultaneously tear at your heart and make you mad enough to make burglary a capital crime.
Izzy, a Havanese that belongs to two little girls and a mom and dad in Plano, was stolen in the robbery at the petsitters' home -- while the kids were on vacation with their dad and mom.

Dad Duane Newman says, "The 3-year-old (Marin) doesn't get it. The 6-year-old (Remy) is doing better. The mom (Shonda) -- not so good."

So, two families and the neighbors are upset by this theft and they are hoping to get more eyes looking for Izzy.

We first heard of this story from the Newmans' friend and neighbor Don Horen who told us that Izzy came into the family about six months ago after the Newmans lost their 12-year-old cat, Solomon, to cancer. The little girls "took the loss very hard," Don says. So, the family brought in Izzy and the girls, naturally, fell in love with the puppy.


Last week the Newmans went on their annual family vacation and a neighbor family volunteered to host Izzy during the week. Two weeks ago, that neighbor family had lost their family dog of 13 years to illness. They also have two girls, ages 12 and 8, and thought it would be nice to have a dog around the house for a while.

Here you see a traditional photo of Izzy, then, there is this photo of Izzy with a sign message to Izzy's "kids." Izzy's pet-sitting family e-mailed that photo to the kids while they were on vacation. The good-natured, loving gesture is now nothing but poignant.

That is so sad. I hope someone does the right thing and returns the dog.

Horrible story and aggravating. I wouldn't hold out too much hope for doing the right thing, given the circumstances of Izzy's disappearance. I wonder if the dog has been microchipped. At least then, even if the perpetrators sell the dog and the "new" owners take it to a vet in the area, they might have information to return it to the owners.

I hope they are keeping an eye on their local Craigslist...we had a case up here where dogs were stolen and resold on Craigslist. That site is heaven for crooks....

This is so sad. I hope and pray Izzy is returned to her loving family.

Grrrrr, now if this story doesn't just make ya MAD! I hope those thieves get what they deserve. Watching craigslist is a good idea.

-----------------------

Oh this story just makes me so mad! It's one of my fears - and one reason I'm glad we have big dogs in the house when we're out and about.

I hope Izzy makes it home safely.
