Alaina Tripp holds a recent photo of Teddy on her phone. The Paws for Life animal shelter in Riverton, Wyoming is currently housing the white poodle.
Alaina Tripp never expected to see her dog Teddy again after he was stolen from her Ottawa apartment last fall. So when the white miniature poodle showed up, dirty but unhurt, in a police stop in Wyoming ten months later, it felt like a small miracle. Alaina Tripp never expected to see her dog Teddy again after he was stolen from her Ottawa apartment last fall.
Tripp said she returned home last September to find someone had broken into her Centretown apartment and taken the four-month old puppy from his crate. Tripp said she believes the thief targeted Teddy. "They shared the footage with the Ottawa police and we discovered who had taken him. We just hadn't been able to track him down," she said.Late last month, purely by chance, police in the small central Wyoming town of Riverton found both the suspect and a much bigger and dirtier Teddy.
The officer confiscated the dog and the suspect was eventually arrested on possession and theft charges. CBC News confirmed the man pleaded not guilty in Riverton court on Monday and is currently in custody." was pretty scruffy. He was living in a car," said Nethicumara. "It was pretty wild because he'd been cooped up in the car so long. When I brought him over to the police department, he just ran wild.
Travelling across the border with a dog requires the proper paperwork, which is likely to be expensive for Tripp. And going down to fetch the dog in person is out of the question because Tripp doesn't currently have a passport.Don Nethicumara, an officer with the Riverton Police Department in Riverton, WY, and Animal Control Officer Shannon Sanderson pose with Teddy after he was recovered from the suspect.
