Police arrested a man in Cal Anderson Park last Friday afternoon for allegedly attacking a man and stealing his puppy in the Central District four days earlier. According to the SPD report on the incident, police were called to Cal Anderson when a friend of the victim saw the assailant with the pit bull hanging out in the park.
Here’s more on the surprisingly Dan Savage and Lisa Dank-free incident from SeattleCrime:
According to police records, the victim of the puppynapping told police he met a woman in Cowen Park near the University District earlier this month, who said she knew someone who might be interested in purchasing a puppy.
A week later, the victim met with three men at his Central District home, where the suspects began playing with the victim’s pitbull puppies.
During the visit, one of the suspects walked out of the victim’s house, and the victim noticed one of his puppies was missing.
The victim confronted the men, and grabbed the puppy out of one suspect’s hand.
One of the men told the victim he wasn’t going to pay $300 for a “mutt,” and then grabbed the victim , put him in a headlock and twisted one of his arms behind his back.
I thought it was illegal to sell dogs. These guys sound like dumb punks. Probably not the smartest idea to hang out in a local park with the dog you stole. Regardless one more asshole off the street!
Maybe the ripoff artist should have read the book “Ripping off puppies for Dummies”.
Ha! I was totally waiting to see on Slog if Dan would somehow make it the pit’s fault. Dangerous dogs, made even more dangerous when stolen yada yada ya…

IMHO no dog who lives on the Hill should feel safe as long as Dank lives here.
