There's a rumor in the Village that the missing dog was a companion animal who went out for a couple of Starbucks one day and never came back!  How mysterious it all is! Oh Pearl, do you think foul play was involved?  A scorned lover?  A jealous neighbor?  Please let me know as soon as you are aware of the details!  And do carry your stick with you at all times, dear, if there are dognappers about. . .
