Beagle Worth $2,000 Stolen at Canadian Expo
A $2,000 beagle hound from Illinois was stolen at the Canadian National Exhibition a few hours after finishing second in its class at the dog show. Owner Sheldon Pankow of New Lennox said the winner of 26 best-of-class ribbons in U S dog shows may have been taken from an unlocked crate by children during the weekend. He offers a $150 reward for return and would replace the dog if the theft was for a dog-seeking motive.
