Possible Dognapping In the Area

Pet owners are being advised to keep an eye on their dogs when they are either running loose or chained out. According to Morrison County Sheriff Michel Wetzel, there is some indication that dog thieves may be active in Central and Northern Minnesota.

The Sheriff says there does not appear to have been any thefts within Morrison County, but a series of emails received by the Sheriff indicate that dogs may have been taken east and north of the county.

While not officially confirmed, the emails indicate that smaller breeds seem to be particularly vulnerable.
