South Charlotte Family Heartbroken And Frantically Searching After Dog Was Stolen Out Of Their Front Yard

CHARLOTTE, N.C. — A South Charlotte family is in disbelief after they say a driver stole their pet and never looked back. WCCB Charlotte's Zane Cina spoke with the owners who are holding out hope they'll see their dog again.

The Humphreys are in a frantic search to find a member of their family. Pete is a two-year-old Cavalier King Charles Spaniel, and he is the newest member of the Humphreys family. Logan and her husband Charlie Humphreys said they adopted the dog months ago, and he quickly gained their love.

Logan said she let Pete out into her homes backyard on a rainy Thursday afternoon for a quick potty break, something the family does often. "He's kind of been the mascot of the block," Charlie said. "Pretty much everyone knows Pete. And so yeah, when he has escaped in the past, they quickly let us know." The Humphreys said this time was different and Pete was nowhere to be found. In a panic, Logan said she searched for Pete with no luck finding the short tri-colored dog.

It wasn't until a neighbor shared a blurry doorbell video that the Humphreys realized their beloved dog wasn't lost, he was stolen. The blurry video appears to show someone picking up the small dog and then handing him over to a driver. The car that pulled Pete in through the driver side window looks like a silver Honda CRV. "One Samaritan had picked him up, was, I think going to a rescue him and had good intentions and then ended up getting summonsed by the driver," Logan said.

The couple filed a police report and are hanging posters in hopes someone has seen Pete. The Humphreys have gone door to door in their neighborhood asking if anyone may have captured video of the vehicle driving by to help better identify the driver. They are hopeful CMPD will be able to pull video from a nearby traffic camera that may have captured the cars license plate.

Pete wears a collar with Humphreys' phone number on it.  Logan said the dog is not micro chipped. She described the dog as small and said Pete has "a thin white line between his eyes. And, then he has a brown kind of like blob in the white around his muzzle," Logan said. "Just very friendly, so he'll come to you. He's very approachable."

The Humphreys are not entirely sure why someone would want to take their pet. The family hopes it is all a mistake but worries there may be a more sinister reason behind the dognapping. "The only thing I truly can come up with is that he's a thoroughbred Cavalier King Charles Spaniel, and that they want to resell this dog," Logan said.

Humphreys said they are offering $500 to anyone who returns Pete to them. They are willing to negotiate and said Pete is priceless. Charlie said they don't want to punish anyone, they just want to make their family whole.

WCCB reached out to CMPD, officers said they have no leads at this point. If you have any information on Pete's whereabouts, the Humphreys family asks that you call or text them immediately at 864-380-6922 or at 864-354-9491.

    Rare Frogs And Illegal Drugs - Palisades Hudson Financial Group

    Colombian conservationist Ivan Lozano has hit on a brilliantly promising strategy to protect his country’s rare and endangered amphibians. His plan: Flood the market with them. Lozano is not hunting rare frogs in Colombia’s Andean forests. He is raising them himself and selling them at prices designed to undercut poachers and smugglers. If he can raise the frogs cheaply enough, and in large enough numbers, he might manage to drive down the market price to the point that poachers no longer find it worthwhile to harvest and smuggle the creatures onto the black markets. Lozano told The Associated Press that his company also encourages collectors to breed their own frogs. Picture yourself as a poacher. If the government toughens the legal penalties and steps up enforcement, you will shrug your shoulders; legal risks are a basic cost of doing business. Since the demand for your product already exists among foreign collectors and other buyers, tougher enforcement merely reduces supply a

    Burn scars, winter storms threaten rare and endangered species in San Gabriel Mountains - The Bakersfield Californian

    LOS ANGELES — Up until a few weeks ago, the West Fork of the San Gabriel River was one of the most abundant wildlife habitats in Los Angeles County, a secluded and rugged area defined by its steep peaks, lush canyons and mixture of rare and endangered species. Recently however, a team of federal biologists and forest rangers was aghast when it visited the stream following the Bobcat fire, which has burned more than 115,000 acres in the heart of the San Gabriel Mountains National Monument. Terrain that once resembled a High Sierra granite gorge now looked like ground zero after a nuclear explosion, and the usually clean mountain air was sharp with the stench of smoke. Particularly unsettling were the bare and ashen slopes that were now primed to dissolve under pounding winter storms. A heavy mudslide, experts said, could reverse decades of conservation efforts by inundating the last outposts for such federally protected species as the Santa Ana sucker fish and Southern California m
