Puppy stolen from yard
Uniontown, PA (US)Incident Date: Wednesday, Jun 1, 2005
County: Fayette
Disposition: Open
Suspect(s) Unknown - We need your help!
Hazel Johnson moved from the Cleveland area to rural Fayette County nearly two years ago. She thought she'd left the fear of crime behind her.
But on Monday, when she brought the basset hound puppies out to play in her yard, she found one was missing.
She said someone sneaked onto her seven-acre Springhill Township property Sunday night or Monday morning, pried open a door to a kennel building and stole "Bud," a 51/2-week-old pedigree basset hound.
Johnson is offering up a $200 reward for the return of the puppy. She said he is mostly black with brown on his face and ears. He has white coloring around his shoulders that comes to a "V" on his back.
The stolen puppy was part of a litter of 11
"My male has champion bloodline from Germany," Johnson said.
Johnson said she worries about the puppy's health. He had not been weaned from his mother when he was stolen.
"Those dogs require special attention because of their ears," she said. "If you don't know what you're doing with a basset hound, you can do a lot of harm. That's why when I sell one I give (the buyer) a little course on how to take care of them."
Anyone with information about the stolen puppy is asked to call state police at Uniontown at 724-439-7111.
