Witness Protection. The mob is trying to kill him for ratting out the boss.

That and the advice to “stay still” is kinda unsettling

What's the point of noting his name if you can't call it?

$5000 reward? This whole poster seems fishy

They are using some kind of professional dog catching service and they told the owners to tell the public not to chase, or call his name because he is likely in survival mode and will run.

I have been following this unfolding on Instagram

they hired a professional dog catching service, and this is what they recommended the family to tell the public

I’m a former dog trainer and I’ve also worked with rescues and I’ve seen the videos of this guy, he seems like a very, very sweet dog, and I don’t know who these professional dog catchers are, because in all my years of animal welfare, I’ve never heard of such people. Maybe she just hired animal control?
WiseRelationship7316 t1_ix7tnjd wrote
It’s not the family is just following some professional dog catchers advice, and they are distraught over the loss of the dog. It appears the dog was taken out of the car at Wawa.

The dog was taken from the parking lot in Wawa on Aramingo. There has to be cameras in that area, his disappearance from the car is just very strange.

Aramingo and wheatsheaf

Not fishy! Very real. A-hole took the dog from a car in that Wawa parking lot. Horrible

Actually, they're quite good. Pet detection is a very involved, highly scientific process.
Emcee_Cone t1_ix7xdiu wrote
That’s absolutely terrible. I apologize, didn’t know the back story. How did they get him? Break in the car? Or did they have the car running with the doors unlocked?

Definitely not fishy, you can trace this whole situation out on Facebook pretty easily. These poor folks want their dog back.
kflan138 t1_ix85t1p wrote
That part wasn’t super clear in their post. Originally they thought the dog got out, when they came out of the wawa, their car door was opened. I’m assuming that they mustn’t be from around here because that wawa may be the second shittiest/sketchiest one in the city (Behind Aramingo Wawa between Cumberland and Huntington) and I can’t imagine even going in, let alone leaving a door unlocked. However, I definitely HAVE had my nervous dog UNLOCK my car doors by stepping on the button, so…who knows.
Anyway, somehow they got PPD (or someone) to HELP THEM get the video from wawa (or somewhere nearby) which showed some people who either stole the dog or let the dog out of the car.
I’m going from memory, but these folks seem super invested in finding their dog. Reminds me of Louie all those years back, that woman never gave up and eventually Louie was found and returned.
Edit: English is my first language, it’s just early and I’m not quite coherent yet, sorry for typos and offensive grammatical blunders.

It’s awesome, you’ve done a great thing. Just straight visibility is sometimes all it takes. Thanks for being super in such a chaotic place! 🖤

Then why put the name on the flyer?

Especially considering that the other dog was still in the car

Hmmm this seems more personal than it appears than. Some bad blood revenge?

Back at you!!
Immagitu t1_ixajb5m wrote
So that when you find him, you can tell the owner the name to confirm it's their dog
TyeDyeAmish t1_ixat44x wrote
Did you call the police? What did they say? Obvisouly Wawa has cameras that woulda seen the suspect. Easy if they were in a car. But folks NEVER leave your animals in the car alone. If you can’t be with them the whole time then leave them at home. Side note. There are GPS trackers you can put on your dog for like $100 a year that connect to the cell network. You can also use AirTags.

So if he's with the human who stole him they won't know that you're on to them??

The original flyer said wawa at wheatsheaf and aramingo, not cumberland

Didn’t know their was a requirement on Reddit about what we can and can’t post. FYI- spread kindness. Thanks!

Not my pup but appreciate suggestions - truly - and hoping we can get this boy home for the holidays. We could all use a little support and good news right now 🙏🏻 and this thread is (largely lol) giving me back some hope in humanity!❤️
