Heavy Hitters Help Out With Dog Search

You can take your 21st century crimefighting techniques and shove them - psychics are totally coming back! At least with investigations involving missing dog show dogs. AM New York reports that the owners of Vivi, the show-worthy whippet that has been missing since last week, are taking tips from various psychics. Apparently, four of the twelve psychics have been saying the same thing, but it's unclear whether or not that was "the dog is lost, scared and alone." Still, the owners have hope:

Monday afternoon, one of those psychic leads appeared to have paid off. [Vivi's co-owner Paul] Lepiane said dog droppings consistent with the 30-pound whippet's were found behind a cargo building in the northwest section of the airport.

Additionally, according to a friend of the owners, the psychic also said, "She said Vivi could hear a person calling to her, but she didn't recognize the voice." Now, Gothamist watched The X-Files and we want to believe the truth it out there, yada yada yada. But we could have guessed those things! A group of volunteers will conduct a grid search around JFK Airport today, and the owners are looking to bring in special whippets trained to search for their own kind today.

And, okay, we admit we would watch Sonya Fitzpatrick on Animal Planet and love it because she would give peace to animal owners whose pets had died.
