Dog Lost, Dog Found, Dog Lost Again… Where’s Diesel?
Josh Rosenthal’s pitbull, Diesel, escaped from his yard nearly two weeks ago. He believes the meter man accidentally left the gate open and Diesel escaped in the short period of time between when Josh left him out in the morning and when he went back to let him in.
When University of Memphis police found the dog shortly after he disappeared, they didn’t know he belong to Rosenthal so U of M police officer, Degreaun Frazier, gave the dog to his cousin to take care of instead of taking Diesel to a shelter.
Rosenthal called the U of M police, and they told him Diesel was at a home in Raleigh. When Rosenthal went to Raleigh, the dog was gone. Officer Frazier’s cousin said Diesel ran away again, but Rosenthal is skeptical. Police Chief Bruce Harbor says they will look into the missing dog and how Officer Frazier handled the situation. For now, Diesel is still missing and Josh is heartbroken and just wants his canine companion back.
If you’re in the area and have see Diesel, call 901-238-0394.
SOUNDS MIGHTY SUSPICIOUS TO ME THAT NOBODY IN THAT NEIGHBORHOOD EVER HEARD OF THE OFFICER OR DIESEL. SO I SAY THE COUSIN OR SOMEONE THEY KNOW HAS THE DOG. IF THEY HAVE A HEART & CONCIOUS THEY WILL GIVE DIESEL BACK AS HOW WOULD THEY LIKE IT IF SOMEONE KEPT SOMETHING THEY CHERICHED.
@JANET MITCHELL – It sounded pretty suspicious to me as well. The fact that the officer said that he had been around the neighborhood and spoken with neighbors and looked for the dog but no one in the neighborhood knew anything about it… yes, quite suspicious. Someone needs to look into this quite a bit more.
Aside from the fact that Diesel is a cherished pet, he is also worth quite a bit of money…. just something to think about.
I hope Josh gets his dog back. I know I would be devastated to lose one of my babies!
@Admin – THANKS DEANNA. IF YOU HEAR ANYTHING MORE PLEASE KEEP US POSTED OK.
PLEASE LET ME KNOW IF DIESEL IS FOUND…I DON’T LIKE THIS AT ALL!
I’M SICK AND TIRED OF FREAKS DOING WHAT THEY WANT TO ANIMALS!
SUSPICIOUS CAUSE I THINK THIS DOG IS BEING USED TO FIGHT!
I PRAY TO GOD IM WRONG
DIESELS OWNER DIDN’T SEEM TO SWIFT TO ME! Why would you leave the dog in the yard alone?
Something doesn’t sound right!
@marcy becker – He’s a college student, what do you expect? They don’t always seem too bright at that age.
People leave their dogs alone in their yards all the time. He let the dog out, to do its business I would guess, then when he called him, he was gone.
The only thing that sounds screwy to me is the cop and cousin not knowing where the dog is now….
