Great story.

I love happy endings. The problem with them is, the unhappy stuff before the happy ending.

Nice story with a happy ending. Don't read the comments. People just can't give the political bullshit a rest, even after reading a story about a pet being saved. Pathetic!

Several newspapers are now requiring people to log in using Facebook for that very reason. Not that it prevents everyone from spewing nonsense, but it does stop some.

Strange. I didn't know there were even comments. I was only interested in the story.......and the happy ending.

The story was kind of sketchy. I went to the comments hoping for more info. More fool me! I have to break myself from the habit. The comments are rarely elucidating and always annoying.

How Scooby the golden retriever helped solve his own dog-napping

 

Scooby solved his own dog-napping.

 

The dogged golden retriever from Brooklyn helped cops collar his captor after being snatched from a burglarized Gravesend home — by running out to greet investigators when they knocked on the suspect’s door, police said.

 

Scooby’s owners panicked on Thursday when they came home and saw no sign of their beloved two-year-old furball.

 

They dashed into the street, yelling for help, only to find cops from the 62nd Precinct already on the block and on the case.

 

The plainclothed officers had been investigating break-ins in the area and had identified Cory Gaudio, 23, as a suspect from surveillance footage.

 

Frella Correa, 52, and her husband Ever Vega, told them they had just been burglarized. A wedding ring, a computer, but most importantly, Scooby, were gone.

 

Minutes later, the cops were banging on Gaudio’s door, not knowing if he was involved in the Correa break-in, but suspecting him in a string of others, police said. A man other than Gaudio answered.

 

Ruh-roh.

 

That’s when Scooby snapped into action — bolting out to greet Officers Nicholas Occhipinti and Anthony Brucato, tail waving.

 

With the name “Scooby” and his family’s phone number stamped on his collar tag, the cops had all evidence they needed to make a bust.

 

Scooby had essentially solved his own mystery. And without Shaggy at his side.

 

Within three hours, he was back with his delirious owners.

 

“He was so happy to see us,” said Correa. “He was jumping around. Of course, I hugged him. Even the neighbors. They were helping to look for him, too. We were so scared.”

 

The dog got the moniker “because he is funny,” she said.

 

And hungry. Correa, a hotel worker, brought along some of the purloined pooch’s favorite Scooby snacks during a media event at the precinct stationhouse Saturday.

 

“He eats everything but he likes chicken and meat,” she said. “He likes our food, too — rice, beans, peanuts.”

 

Gaudio was ordered held in lieu of $20,000 cash bail on Saturday night, and was charged with burglary and possession of a weapon, drugs and stolen property.

 

A judge issued orders of protection barring Gaudio from contact with any of his alleged victims, including Scooby.

 

“So you have me on a stolen dog?” prosecutors say he guiltily blurted out when they busted him.

 

“I found it and I was going to keep it for a reward.”

 

When cops searched the apartment, they also found pain pills, gun ammo, a machete, a sword, a “knuckle knife” and a police scanner tuned to the 62 police precinct.

 

He is suspected of snatching cell phones and jewelry — and being outsmarted by a dog. Zoinks!
