Dog Thief in LaFayette, La. HELP - Update: Found :(

[Raymond Little]

I think the one positive thing that can be taken from this is how the RTF community quickly rallied with numerous sources to help. I know that if something this terrible ever happens to me that I can count on RTF to get the word out.

You said it Brother!!!

[Jerry and Freya]

The "sub-humans" that taught the pit bulls this behavior should be picked up and put down.

Yes, a better idea...

I've been waiting to post the same thing. RTFers are acting like RTFers in the old days - offering help and support like they did after Katrina. It is good to see.

I am in shock. I really wasn't prepared for this outcome. My heart goes out to the family of Boz. What a terrible terrible tragedy. I hope this SOB rotts and burns in hell, but hope its painfull for him till he gets there when the proper people get their hands on him.

It seems there have been a few different theories as to how he wound up where he did and what the thief did with him after stealing him or breaking and entering the vehicle.

I feel terrible for Boz's whole family.

It is a positive that this story has gotten the media and public attention that it has. Hopefully it will lead to some punnishment for the perpetrator(s).

I honestly don't see what a breed of dog (pit) has to do with any of this at all.

If I were one of the folks who administers the local animal control, I'd be working to explain why some effort and communication was not done before they chose to put down the most looked-for canine in the county....and more importantly put into effect a process that prevents it in the future. That's pathetic. I get the idea someone was way too eager to put an innocent dog down.

I'd definitely say this is not going in a good direction for dirtbags who choose to break into peoples' vehicles and steal their dogs and property.

Chris, I just posed this question to KATC since they are still reporting on this story,

This was their responce;

"We asked those same questions, but animal control said they followed protocol".

Also, folks are calling both TV and radio wanting to donate money for a new pup as well as some offering a pup. The reporter has a call in to Jamie.

Is it really known the condition of the dog before he was put down? This makes this whole thing worse to me and to be honest it's fishy. What a sickening situation. I feel so terrible for the owners. I hope the thief suffers the remainder of his life. Just ruins your day reading this.

[Donna Kerr]

After reading this story I cannot even begin to express how I feel about all of this. Outrage, disbelief, disgust and, above all, extreme sadness are filling me all at the same time. My heart is just broken for Boz and his family…
Prayers and sincere sympathy to you all.

I am so sorry for your loss. I just had eye surgery and after reading this story I don't need any wetting drops. Breaks my heart for the owners . You are in my prayers........
