Lost Brooklyn Dog Found on Long Island!
Awww: A dog that went missing from Sunset Park on Monday afternoon was found 60 miles away on Long Island the next day. Newsday reports the chihuahua named Boy was reunited with his tearful and grateful owner yesterday.
Holbrook residents Dino and Teri Vassino found the pup on Tuesday and thought it belonged to neighbor Sue Pierce, whose family also has a Chihuahua. But they weren't missing a dog, so, per Newsday, "Pierce took him to a Selden animal hospital, which found an identification microchip embedded between Boy's shoulders." She called the owner, Arc Liu, who was thrilled that his dog was found. Yay for pet microchips!
Liu said his dog went missing when he visited a friend's fenced-in backyard and suspects someone picked up the dog "and went the wrong way." As for Boy's health, Pierce said he seems good, "except his feet on the underside seem to be cut up."
In January, a Colorado trucker was reunited with his dog that had run away at a Hudson Valley rest stop. And microchip your pet!

Who the fuck cares - a missing dog is found? Is it really that slow a news day?

Wow! Nice people who found the dog.

We all need one.
You never know, you might end up in China
in the middle of the earthquake or worse,
dead in a room without your id and wallet.
Or worse, you think you are Superman, but you
cannot remember how to fly or where you put your
ugly underwear.
Who can verify your identity ?

Slow day or not, I appreciate a story with a happy ending every now and then. I only wish the dog could talk so we know how he got to Long Island from Sunset Park.

Chihuahuas are a dangerous, feral breed. Everyone involved needs a painful round of rabies shots.

In other pet news...aggrieved neighbors to dog barking nuisance steal dog, drive 60 miles to Holbrook, and ditch the animal.

You know, technically Brooklyn is just the western tip of Long Island. It's not like the dog would have to swim or use an EZ Pass to get there.

Technically, yes, but nobody in Brooklyn or Queens says they live in Long Island. And I'd like to see you do 60 miles on foot in a day. Although that's highly suspect, too. The dognapping ideas above look quite possible.

Goes to show that dogs are stupid. Dogs are a delicacy in some parts of the world, for good reason.

Maybe the dog got on the LIRR at Atlantic Ave. - kind of like those Far Rock pidgeons?

But is Long Island anywhere near Brooklyn?
