Who Would Do Something Like This?

Two men approached a man walking his 5-year-old Cocker Spaniel in Clifton around 9 p.m., held him up at gunpoint, and demanded the dog.
The owner begged for the animal's safety and even offered money, but the assailants wanted the dog. The canine was taken by one of the men and given to the other, and both men then sped away in a car. Because of the darkness the owner was unable to get the license plate number of the car.
The dog, named "Scoop," is a rust and white colored, neutered male cocker spaniel. He was wearing a red and green collar at the time that said, "Spoiled Rotten" on it.
The family is offering a $500 reward for the return of their pet. The Associated Humane Society of Newark is matching that reward to total $1,000.

If god forbid this ever happened to me I would never give up Diesel. If they are going to take my dog they might as well kill me.

Save Scoop

Maybe these men were hired by a neighbor who was awaken every night by the barks of scoop. When they drop scoop off in the country, he will find his way home and perhaps will have a piece of clothing in his mouth that will identify the second hand clothing store that these hitmen shop at.
