A “very large reward” is being offered for the return of Bones, a Dogo Argentino stolen from Northwest Ohio Underdog Rescue, Inc. in Toledo on Saturday, according to a report in ToledoNewsNow.
Many people remember the dog Bones from 2011, when Bones received international attention after being involved in a murder case in New York. In November, 2011, Shaun Dyer allegedly used a metal pipe to strike and kill his roommate David Shadha. Dyers dog, Bones, was covered in blood. Shadha had bite marks on his body, however forensics determined the bite marks were not the result of a fight between Dyer and Shadha.
Hand4Paws originally prepared a petition asking that Bones be released from Animal Control.
The dog had been held as evidence until last year when he was released to the Lexus Project, a 501c3 that helps dogs facing death or incarceration as a vicious or dangerous dog. Bones was then sent to the Northwest Ohio Underdog Rescue, who worked with Bones and any aggression issues he might have. He would next be placed for adoption.
Although there were several dogs at the rescue, Bones was the only dog taken. Sadly, he was stolen while the owner of the rescue, Kathy Sutter, attended her fathers funeral.
Causes.com has more information on a “cause” set up to help find Bones:
He is a very strong dog .. if he picks up on you being afraid of him he will bark at you. If you see Bones call Kat at 419-508-5730 if have a cell phone that takes pictures please try to snap one and send it to that same number night or day.
Bones is large, as well as being strong. He weighs 130 pounds, so his size and strength may be intimidating if he were to get loose. But he is in fact a gentle dog.
The important thing is that he be returned to Northwest Ohio Underdog Rescue, Inc. The Lexus Project asks the thief to return the dog to the rescue with no questions asked. He can also be returned to Sylvania Vet.
