On Christmas night, my dear baby German Shepherd, Takoda, got loose. She was 7-years-old, a very skittish dog and very mistrustful. My friend, who owns a cat, had invited me and Takoda to her house for dinner, since I was alone for Christmas. As I got to her house, I asked her if it was safe to let Takoda off the leash, fearing that the cat had not been safely tugged away. I took Takoda off her leash when my friend told me that it was, indeed, safe to do so. Little did I know that my friend had left the door to her backyard open. Takoda bolted for the yard and, before my friend could close the gate, she had slipped out and was gone. We searched and searched to no avail. That night and the next day we posted flyers all over the vicinity where she was last seen. A good samaritan saw the flyer and called to let me know that Takoda had been hit by a car and died instantly. As it happened over the holidays, nothing was open, i.e. OSPCA, animal control, etc. I was told by the good samaritan that they saw 2 police officers standing over my baby's body, but when I went to the station, they had absolutely no record of it. Knowing Takoda is dead is already tearing me apart. Not knowing where her body is can only be described as constant torment. I just want to bring my baby home. I still have not been able to locate her.
I live in Ontario, Canada. Takoda was last seen, dead, in the Newmarket area, on Leslie street, between Davis and Gorham. Anyone with any information please come forward. I just want to being my baby home. Thank you. Please sign petition below. Thank you. http://www.thepetitionsite.com/1/german-sh...like-road-kill/

My fellow pet lovers and new friends,
Takoda's body has been found! My friend and I took a trip today out to all the local shelters and found nothing. Went to where she reportedly died, posted flyers and even looked into the dumpsters behind...nothing. Nobody had heard ANYTHING. Before we gave up and on a whim, I said to my friend, "I want to go back to the police station and at least find out what their procedure or protocol is when something like this happens." We did and, lo and behold, the officer on duty there told me that he had located the officer that was with Takoda when she died, who told him that she was picked up by the road crew and was taken to the Newmarket animal shelter or yard or whatever they call it. However, they still didn't know where she might be. But not to worry, he said, they had informed him that they indeed had her and would get back to him as soon as they knew for sure where she was. A short while after that, when I was at my friend's place, I got a call from Karen at the Newmarket animal control. They had her and, since Takoda did not have a tag on, they had treated her as a stray and gone ahead and bloody BURIED HER! To tell you the truth, I was in total shock. All I could say to Karen, repeatedly, was, "You buried her? You buried her? You BURIED HER?" She was very sympathetic and told me that, if I wanted they could very well have her dug back up, but I would have to wait until tomorrow to talk to her boss. I said okay and hung up. About 5 mins later, she called me back and told me that the guys were heading out to where she was buried and would be digging her up tonight. Can you BELIEVE that? Karen told me Takoda would be back at the yard tonight. I am going to pick her up tomorrow and have her cremated. Takoda is coming home! ![]() My healing process can begin now. Thank you all again. ![]() Aggie |
