Update:
Greg emailed in to let us know that Cutter was returned to his home yesterday afternoon. After being taken from Cafe Fiore, he turned up at a Petco in Bellevue, which then took him to an animal shelter close by.
A lady had brought Cutter to the Petco store stating that her brother had taken him from outside Cafe Fiore and brought him home to her to have as a companion. “Petco staff got the impression that she wasn’t too stable,” writes Greg.
The shelter immediately scanned his chip and called Cutter’s owner straight away.
“Needless to say, I don’t think we’ll be tying Cutter up anywhere if we don’t have an eye on him. I just can’t imagine walking off with somebody else’s dog,” writes Greg.
Original Post:
My Ballard reader Greg emailed in to report that his dog Cutter (pictured) was stolen from out the front of Cafe Fiore (5405 Leary Ave NW) at approximately 10 a.m. on Sunday morning.
“We frequently tie him up out front while we get coffee. He’s the nicest dog I’ve ever met and we’re sick about this. He loves everybody, is so sweet, and is the best friend to a 13 year old boy,” writes Greg.
Cutter has tags and is chipped. If you have seen him please email us at tips@myballard.com and we will pass on the information.
