a way to document a Stolen canine

Losing a pet can be a terrifying experience. Unfortunately, pet theft seems to be on the rise, with pets stolen by disgruntled relatives or by scammers out to make a buck.[1] If you think your dog was stolen, then you should immediately spring into action. Gather identifying information about your dog and call your local police or sheriff. Then broaden your search efforts by making and distributing a flyer around your neighborhood.
Write down memories of the theft. Note the date and time your dog was stolen. If you saw who took the dog, then write down a description: height, weight, age, gender, race, clothing, vehicle identification, etc. Write down these details while they are fresh in your memory.
Your dog might have disappeared while you were away from home. In that case, talk to your neighbors and anyone else who travels through your neighborhood regularly, such as delivery drivers, meter readers, or mail carriers. They might have seen something.
Write down the names and contact information of any witnesses. Also write down their description of the thief, if they saw someone.
