Canine Thieves Suspected Here
Canine owners are warned that an organized ring may be stealing dogs in the area. Phil Hornstein of the Lawton Dog Shelter says several families report losses, with pets possibly being fenced in a hidden box and trucked to a distant city for sale. A local report from R J Miller notes a missing registered Collie puppy, though the Miller family says the puppy was with them when they traveled. The Lawton Dog Shelter plans to operate to remove strays and encourage care, with a shelter near the city barn costing 8300 dollars and a sewer line to supply modern facilities.
