Who’s Dog Was It Really On Craigslist

A couple from Spanaway, Washington had lost their two dogs about a month ago from their home when they were out.
Now a month later they see an ad on Craigslist showing the two dogs. Cordell & Cori Hazard thought that it was definitely their two dogs and tried to get the seller to give them back.

Well you will have to read the article by Tonya Mosley here to find out what happened, also watch the video too.

This gets even better when you read some of the posting on Craigslist:

A plea to the one that has the dogs

Shame on you seller

DOG OWNERS RESPONSE TO MATT AND KELLY

RE: Dane and Pug Theft (WA State)

RE: Stolen Pets

Update from Pug and Great Dane Owners (Spanaway/Tacoma)

This is the post by the owners of the dogs.

This is how it all started- we went to movie matinee on Sun June 1st, we got home and dogs were gone and backslider was open. We started driving around , asking people, called animal control, humane society and found/injured dog lines. Not 1 clue as to where they disappeared to. Started to lose hope, but still called every day to found dogs and kept posting ad on here for missing dogs. July 5th- went to CL to repost ad and right there in front of my face is my dog being sold for $150 I was so happy to see she was alive and okay- My heart was racing, then as I looked closer in the pic I saw my pug in the background- it was my Samson!! I called the # immediately went to voicemail so I left a message as an interested buyer so I could try to meet them- and know where they are. No response, then had family and friends call about buying dogs. No response. Finally I called again and they answered. When I told them I wanted to buy dog, they said we already sold her sorry. My heartfell...I said when? You just posted the ad on July 4th at 5pm, Its July 5th at 1pm!! The girl said sorry. I was so upset at this point I told her- You just sold my dog- I have a chip, papers and pictures to prove that great dane and the pug are mine!! Unless you want me at your door with the police I suggest you cooperate and we will handle it quietly. She began telling a woman name Kelly what I said she began yelling, Call the cops I don't give a **ck!! Then hung up. Called Police they came over did report, police called the people too. Cop said he talked to 4 different people at that house they all have different stories, they are all obviously lying. I begged please go get our dogs, can't you get a warrant for their address or something? He said he can't unless there is proof a crime was committed by breaking into our house and stealing them. We have no proof. He said if WE find their location them call police back, he will go to there house and find our dogs. If you know who has our dogs or if you have seen them, or bought them we will reimburse you for whatever you paid or if you don't want to give us dog just respond and tell us where you went to get dog and maybe there is hope we can find the pug still, help us get our dogs home.

'There's no charge for love

A farmer had some puppies he needed to sell. He painted a sign advertising the 4 pups. And set about nailing it to a post on the edge of his yard. As he was driving the last nail into the post, he felt a tug on his overalls. He looked down into the eyes of little boy.

'Mister,' he said, 'I want to buy one of your puppies.

''Well,' said the farmer,as he rubbed the sweat off the back of his neck, 'These puppies come from fine parents and cost a good deal of money.

' The boy dropped his head for a moment.Then reaching deep into his pocket,he pulled out a handful of changeand held it up to the farmer.

'I've got thirty-nine cents.Is that enough to take a look?'

'Sure,' said the farmer.And with that he let out a whistle. 'Here, Dolly!' he called.

Out from the doghouse and down the ramp ran

Dolly followed by four little balls of fur.

The little boy pressed his face against the chain link fence. His eyes danced with delight. As the dogs made their way to the fence,

the little boy noticed something else stirring inside the doghouse.

Slowly another little ball appeared, this one noticeably smaller. Down the ramp it slid. Then in a somewhat awkward manner, the little pup began hobbling toward the others, doing its best to catch up.... '

I want that one,' the little boy said, pointing to the runt. The farmer knelt down at the boy's side and said, 'Son, you don't want that puppy. He will never be able to run and play with you like these other dogs would.

' With that the little boy stepped back from the fence, reached down, and began rolling up one leg of his trousers.

In doing so he revealed a steel brace running down both sides of his leg attaching itself to a specially made shoe.

Looking back up at the farmer, he said,'You see sir,
I don't run too well myself,and he will need someone who understands.

'With tears in his eyes, the farmer reached down and picked up the little pup. Holding it carefully he handed it to the little boy.'How much?' asked the little boy.

'No charge,' answered the farmer, 'There's no charge for love.

' The world is full of people who need someone who understands It's National Friendship Week.

I thought that I would post this video of a balancing act by a dog for today’s laugh.

Man Beaten With Chain Trying To Help A Dog

A man named Victor Esparza-Hernandez from Centralia, Washington was seen hurting a puppy that was a mixed black lab with a chain, when a kindhearted man tried to stop Victor from hurting his dog was beaten and attacked himself.
Victor Esparza-Hernandez was charged with second degree assault and the man was taken to the hospital due to having a big rock that hit him in the back.
This is one sick guy if you ask me.

Are You Looking For A Hunting Dog

I stopped over at Gun Dog Mag today and read an article by Bob West that talked about buying a puppy for the hunters? Bob talks about how people would look and hold a dog thinking that they know they have found the one. He also talks about how the breeder will try a figure out how much you have to spend and sell you the most expensive one if he can.
The main thing I have read about is first what are you going to use your dog for, in meaning what are you hunting for birds, deer or what have you… Then to find a real known breeder that is well known for their dogs and you will most likely get your self a great dog in the long run.
I must say that Bob had a great article.

There was also an article by James B. Spencer who talked about a women named Luann Pleasant from Red Rover Retrievers Kennel who talked about picking the right puppy. Luann said that with out the right training you will just ruin the dog that you paid all that money for.

Marines Discharge Dog Thrower

I don’t know if you remember the video on You Tube that showed a Marine named Lance Cpl. David Motari, well the Marines has finally discharged this bum.
The article didn’t say what really happened to Marine, Sgt. Crismarvin Banez Encarnacion except that he received unspecified non-judicial punishment.
You would think that Crismarvin being a higher ranking soldier, he should have been treated at lest with the same judgment as Motari.
