Why would someone steal my dog?? I have the perfect crag dog who loves people, dogs and kids. He is "Gonzo" a white small 14 pound Chihuahua Jack Russell mix. I wish people weren't so ignorant at crags as this has happened before when standing in front of me, someone had the nerve to ask where this dog came from as he picked him up and begun to walk away with him. WTF!! I want my dog back now!!! If you have any information regarding this dog knapper please call Sarah Janin at 970-306-2358 And no I was not multi pitching. He was missing for seconds while I attempted my project and gone in a blink of an eye. Please help me find Gonzo!

Good luck in finding your Jack Russell. Keep in mind that there are a few other things that may have happened.

Try boiler humane society.  Many missing dogs turn up there.

I think you’ve found your culprit.

The bowling alley is a small roadside drag. Were there other parties there? It just doesn’t seem likely that some random person hiking around that zone would’ve been like “oh hey! A free dog”. Even if that is the case that someone took your dog I doubt that they did it for some malevolent reason. Your dog must’ve not been leashed up and not in eyesight of you or your partner for a while.

Don’t be so nice. Tradiban, andrew.reed, Greg Miller, Marc 801C, Adam Password and Carlos Danger can all go fuck themselves. You clearly don’t get it. You don’t berate people or comedically insinuate her dog was killed by a cougar or eagle in the middle of the search. Fucking morons, crawl back under whichever rock you came from.

Agreed.

Sarah, try not to worry about the assholes and trolls. They're all cowards in real life and likely incredibly weak climbers.

Glad your dog was found. This was posted two days after this thread: https://www.mountainproject.com/forum/topic/115381357/not-just-another-dog-thread which probably explains the responses here...

I agree with this sentiment. You people should be ashamed of yourselves.

I'm glad you found the dog Sarah

I’m sorry but the OPs post comes off douchey and entitled. She lost her dog and than starts putting blame on someone else, really?
