CROSS-POST** Natalie Barratt, a Fort Greene resident, sent in the following alert and request for help:

Laika, our much loved Husky, was taken from outside The Greene Grape Provisions on Friday 24th July at 8.50pm. Photos attached of Laika and the security camera footage. (Note: Security camera photos have not been posted here because of size and quality issues.)

She was taken by a man in a wheelchair, and the woman pushing him. He has dark hair, mid-forties, tanned or Hispanic. She seems older, with glasses, was wearing a distinctive cream raincoat with a blue hood/scarf. They walked away from The Greene Grape towards Greene Avenue, up towards Clinton Hill.

We are SURE they are well-meaning but misguided. He has not contacted our vet from her tag, and did not go back to the store. Laika is 11, and has bad hips – she takes medication on a daily basis. I am offering a reward of $200 for his address or name.

Please would you consider posting this? A lot of people in the neighborhood know Laika, she has been a fixture at Tillies for 10 years.

Thank you for your help!
