Pooch on the Loose: Help Find Jack (He’s Been Found!)
Jack the Dog has been found! Pet parent “Cheryl” tells us:
Hello! This is Jack’s owner. He is safe thanks to some folks with a few Frenchies and 2 NYPD officers who caught him, Monster Mutts in Cobble Hill, and a host of Mobile Mutts and other walkers and searchers.
He’s limping a bit and his paw pads took a beating, but he seems fine. A tremendous thank you to all the people who took some time to look, post here, or stop one of the searchers with a sighting.
And she sent BHB this photo of JtD chillaxin’ after his odyssey today.
The drama began this afternoon when we received this urgent dispatch just in from “Cheryl”: Continue Reading →

Could it Be? BeeBop Spotted in Brooklyn Bridge Park
A BHB reader sent this dispatch to Cathy, owner of BeeBop the missing Willowtown cat:
I was just running on the footpath between Piers 1 and 6 in Brooklyn Bridge Park and saw a cat near the rocks/water between where Pier 2 & 3 will be. I thought that the cat looked dark gray but could have been black, and I think had a white face – based on the photo on the Brooklyn Heights blog, I’m not 100% sure that it is BeeBop, and I apologize if it isn’t!

Breaking Away: Doggie Edition
Three years ago, a BHB reader spotted a local dog walker on a scooter with several pooches in tow. Last week, a tipster observed what appears to be another walker on a bicycle (photo) doing basically the same thing. But folks walk dogs while wearing roller blades all the time, so is this a big deal?
Dog-on-Dog Attack at Pet Store
Reader Melissa Curry tells us that, last Wednesday, she took her nine pound Pomeranian, Munchie, to Clark Pet.com (photo) on leash. While in the store, Munchie was attacked by a forty pound pit bull-rat terrier mix named Pandora, and sustained deep puncture wounds, two of which required extensive stitching. According to Ms. Curry, Munchie did nothing to provoke the attack and Pandora, who was off-leash, gave no warning. Continue Reading →
