Dog helps rescue himself from dognappers
#1
Vango the dog was stolen from his home in Quebec. The thieves brought him into a pet store where his behavior alerted the store employees. While one person kept the thieves busy, the other did an internet search of missing pets. Vango's picture was there. The thieves were persuaded  to leave the dog and he was soon reunited with his owner.

Good for the alert store employees. They trusted their instinct that something was wrong. 
Good for the owner that she had posted pictures online so quickly. It let the pet store people check and confirm that the dog was stolen. The real smart thinking came from the dog who made a point of drawing attention to himself so the pet store people could become suspicious.  It took everyone to get him home safe, but he started it.

He did not want to be with those people. Good thinking for the dog and real awareness at the pet store.

Good dog Vango!! He was obviously so unhappy he couldn't pretend to be okay. Thank goodness the people in the store were aware enough to notice his messages!

And yes, it pays to put out alerts all over the placeimmediately  if an animal is stolen or goes missing.  They can also travel a fair distance in a short time, so put out alerts for many areas, not only local areas.

It is the alerts, the pet store staff and Vango  himself that made rescue possible. A lot of stolen animals have been returned because someone who saw an alert later saw the pet. Even lost animals make it home because of alerts. I have known a number of parrots to make it home because the person who found them saw an alert about the lost bird.

It is less common for the dog to do his own alert.
