What's Up With That? #37: Dognapped!
The search is on for a stolen puppy belonging to an eight-year-old cancer patient at the University of California San Francisco Medical Center.
Chemo the puppy, a 15-week-old Chihuahua/Doberman mix belonging to young Kyle Wetle from Monterey, was taken from Kyle's parents' car on Saturday as it was parked in the medical center's garage.
Three questions arise from this story:
One: What kind of villain steals a dog from a car at a hospital? The first person to respond, "One sick puppy," gets spanked. Hard.
Two: How do you successfully breed a Chihuahua with a Doberman? I'm trying to imagine the logistics involved, and I just can't get there.
Three: Who feeds a puppy Skippy peanut butter and canned corn? Mr. and Mrs. Wetle, judging by the above photograph. (Apparently, Chemo prefers creamy over chunky.)
Here's hoping that whoever snagged little Kyle's dog — and you know who you are, Cruella — brings the pup back soon.
UPDATE, TUESDAY 9/5, 4:30 p.m.
The San Francisco Chronicle reported only moments ago that Chemo has been returned to a happy Kyle Wetle and his family, mere hours after I posted about the puppy's theft.
Once again, the power of the Swan sends the criminal underworld into cowering terror.
Now I just hope Kyle and his folks quit feeding the little mutt peanut butter and corn. Dogs are carnivores, people! At least switch him to chunky, for pity's sake!

2 insisted on sticking two cents in:
As far as the logistics, I assume a complicated system of ropes and pulleys were employed...
I dont know what to say. This is such a bizarre story. I'm glad the dog napper was caught. All along he was
"barking" up the wrong tree anyway.:)
