DOGNAPPED!

oh, no! Poor baby!

I'm wondering if she was dognappped, or simply escaped during the break in. A good search around the neighborhood is in order.

I'm so amazingly sorry to hear about this. I live in South Slope (on Prospect Ave) and will definitely keep my eye out. I have a 10 month old pup and feel sick just reading your entry. How did they break in?

what the hell? someone broke into your place just to steal your maltese?!?!

maybe it's someone you know (?)

That is just the most terrible thing I hope you are reunited with your dog and justice is served. I will keep this in mind walking around the neighborhood.

sorry that this happen to you . do you know people around the block that doesn't like you or your dog? or people who you know that doesn't like you or the dog?

cause this seems like a personal crime.

I hope you find her. good luck .

I have two Maltese dogs so when I read this posting I just started to cry.

geez.. If someone broke in to my home they could have everything in there but leave my dogs.

I pray that this terrible story turns out to have a happy ending,

I keep thinking about this and how upset I'd be if somebody catnapped one of my babies.

I was also wondering if somebody was complaining about barking or poop or if you had somebody else very mad at you (recent breakup, etc.) who retaliated by going after something you care so much about

Samantha were there other "things" taken from the apartment?
That was what I assumed from your post but obviously the dog was your main concern with this posting.

If I am understanding the situation there would be no reason to assume it was some grudge. maltese dogs are adorable, friendly and portable.

Yosimite Samantha wrote: No, that's what's so crazy! They stole Samantha and her carrier. And nothing else.

That is crazy and somehow even sadder.

So back to the other thought.. It sounds like this is someone who at least knew you had a dog even if they don't know you.

I just saw a few of your posters on PPW. I also looked down every stairwell on my way to and from yoga.

I hope she turns up soon.

Stuff like this is usually kids or a domestic situation, either way I hope someone has a heart a returns your pooch!!!

Don't beat yourself up on this one. This situation is just beyond logical reasoning. The evil that defines someone that would do this is beyond the understanding of a normal, nice, ethical loving person like you are.

People are just trying to help on the forum so please don't take anything being said the wrong way..nothing is being said "against' you. I think people just can't wrap their minds around something like this happening.. especially people who live with pets and love them beyond any emotion they themselves even thought they could have for a pet.

I hope the daily News story sweeps a really wide net and gives you results on this.
