Ricky hopes for a reunion with Pookie

EVG regular Moe shares this story about Ricky, a familiar face in the neighborhood...

Until 2 weeks ago, Ricky was always accompanied by a cute little wiry-haired terrier chihuahua mix named Pookie who has a very nice disposition.

Turns out his dog was stolen 2 weeks ago when he left it tied up for a minute — yes, I know — outside the Ottendorfer Library on Second Avenue near St. Mark's Place to go inside for a book.

A witness said that it was a "junky-looking blond woman with hair pushed up in the middle of her head" who took it.

Turns out this woman is currently in jail on some other charges, and that she allegedly was also responsible for five other recent dog thefts.

She has some sort of arraignment today [Jan. 6] at which time Ricky and a lawyer who has helped him before will be present to see if, at the least, information about the current whereabouts of these stolen dogs can be obtained.
