Dogs Continue to Disappear at Dog Park
Three more dogs have gone missing inside the Gladys Maria Shrine Memorial Dog Park in Cleveland, Ohio. The owners and their dogs arrived at the park at different times on Friday, but all three owners have been unable to find their dogs. The Cleveland Police and Animal Control have investigated the park property, found nothing out of the ordinary, and none of the missing dogs. The surrounding fence is intact, there are no places where the dogs could have escaped, and there were no suspicious people or activities occurring in the vicinity. One dog owner, Shari Smitts, had a GPS tracker on her dog’s collar, which still shows that her dog is inside the dog park fence and moving around. However, that dog and the tracker cannot be located. This brings the total number of missing dogs at this specific park to 28. The Cleveland City Parks Department has a public meeting on Tuesday to discuss the matter. Religious leaders held a prayer vigil outside the dog park. Several dog owners have hired dog whisperer Cesar Millan to help bring their dogs back from the park.
