UPDATE: Dog Missing For 11 Days In P-LG Has Been Found
[UPDATED: Monday, December 11, 2017 at 10:30am] Good news! Teddy, the dog lost in Prospect Park on November 30 while out for a walk with a Wag! dog-walker, was caught and reunited with her owner yesterday.
“TEDDY HAS BEEN FOUND!” Kane Giblin, Teddy’s owner posted to Facebook yesterday. “We set a trap at the Brooklyn Botanic Gardens and this morning we trapped a little bear! It absolutely could not have been done without the amazing team at Brooklyn Botanic Garden, the incredible trapper, Carmen, and the team at Wag who have been printing the flyers, banners and monitoring the tips.”
Teddy was safe at home resting in Giblin’s bed yesterday following a visit to the vet that determined the 4-year-old rescue pup is fine despite “some beaten up paws, and a tick,” her owner notes.
“THANK YOU TO EVERYONE for all of your help!” Giblin’s message continues. “From the people searching the parks and streets to those hanging flyers and all of your shares and prayers. Teddy is home because the community came together to bring her back to me!”
PROSPECT-LEFFERTS GARDENS – A concerned dog-owner is requesting the community’s help in locating her lost dog, Teddy.
“I know this may sound small, but it means the world to me,” Teddy’s owner wrote in an email asking that we post info about the lost pup.
“While on a walk through Prospect-Lefferts Gardens on Thursday, November 30th, a Wag! dog walker lost my dog. As of today, Monday, December 3rd my dog Teddy is still missing,” she explains.
Teddy is described as a small, black, female dog last seen wearing a black collar with a green Wag! bandana. Teddy was rescued from a dog meat farm in Korea and is cautious of people.
Her owner suggests that anyone who encounters Teddy should position themselves low to the ground, approach the dog slowly, encourage her with treats, and offer a hand for her to sniff.
“All it takes in one hand on her collar to save her life at this point. This is now her fifth day out and we’re all hoping she’s tired and hungry enough to accept help,” she adds.
For their part, Wag! has helped by printing and distributing flyers and even sent a drone to search above the park, according to Teddy’s owner who will post updates on her Facebook page as well as Teddy’s Instagram @heythereteddybear.
