Alaina Tripp was reunited last week with her miniature poodle almost a year after he was stolen from her downtown Ottawa apartment. She says Ottawa police told her last fall the man suspected of taking Teddy had fled to the United States and the chances of finding him again were slim.
What began with heartbreak last September when her puppy Teddy was stolen from her downtown Ottawa apartment, led to skepticism, then joy last month when she received a series of phone calls and messages telling her the miniature white poodle had been found.Tripp had gotten Teddy the month before he was taken, after her previous dog got sick and had to be put down.
According to Nethicumara, the warrant indicated the man was in possession of a stolen dog named Teddy, who was in the car at the time. Shannon Sanderson, an animal control officer with the RPD took the lead on sorting out the logistics, but really she said "it was a group effort." Tripp, left, says she's grateful for friends like Pamela Memmott, right, who started an online fundraiser to pay for her dog Teddy's flight home and subsequent veterinarian bills.
