Husky still missing * Plea for help
Source: NYTimes.com, July 30, 2009
Assemblyman Joe Lentol has made dog-napping a priority with a plea for the return of Laika, Natalie Barratt’s still-missing husky. “As a dog owner I cannot imagine what this must be like,” Mr. Lentol said in a news release. “If anyone has any information at all, please contact the owner and help bring Laika home.”
Well, only a few of us here at The Local are dog owners, but we too are hoping for the speedy return of the elderly husky. We checked back in with Ms. Barratt to see if there have been any new developments and we’re sorry to say that, as of yet, her dog has not been found or returned.
An 11-year-old Clinton Hill girl did claim to see a gray dog of similar description alone near Atlantic Avenue a couple of nights ago, but there hasn’t been a reported sighting since. To follow the search, check out Ms. Barratt’s new blog, GoneLaikaGone.
Also take a look at the security camera footage above and do excuse the poor quality, it’s the only surveillance tape available. Around four seconds you’ll notice Laika walking off with a wheelchair-bound man and the woman pushing him.
