http://www.wyff4.com/news/21784755/detail.html Have you seen Winston the 2 year old brown & white skateboarding English Bulldog??? Winston has been on a lot of television shows. He loves skateboarding. Winston lives just over the border in Anderson South Carolina. Well, some clown kidnapped Winston today. That really pissses me off!!! Winston is a celebrity in his own right & a downtown Anderson mascot. Winston has a scar on his belly. Needless to say, his owner is devastated It's like sitting your child out in the back yard & having them disappear!!! My guess is he's still being held locally, but you never know so I want to get the word out!!! Have you seen Winston & what do you think of anyone who would steal a dog...especially a celebrity dog that could be easily recognized???

That does souind a bit crazy for someone to sdo something like that. They should not steal or kidnap a dog to begin with. they need to get their own. I guess they must do it for ransom money or for publicity.

So far, no ransom request.

Oh my...yes I have seen Winston on a lot of shows including the Oprah Winfrey show one time. The way my mind works though, I wonder if the kidnapper of him had more devious means, rather than kidnapping him for ransom...so many steal dogs to use them as bait for dog fights so I hope he doesn't wind up as such.

OMG, I PRAY YOU ARE WRONG!!! Winston is a lover NOT a fighter!!! I just can't imagine what this fool was thinking. It would be bad enough to steal ANY dog, but most dogs you could play with in your yard & nobody would know the difference. With Winston, anybody driving by would know he was stolen. So, I don't see a good life for Winston if he's not returned home!!!

Can Winston pick up that skateboard and slap his captors upside the head do you think? Wish he could. They deserve it. What idiots! I had a girlfriend who offered to babysit a little lap dog of one of her co-workers. She carried that dog around in her purse like she belonged on Rodeo Drive! But then her entire life was lived as if she was always in front of a camera, so no surprise really. What really cost me my friendship with her was when her co-worker returned from her vacation and my friend refused to give her her dog back because she "adored the way the dog added to her image when she carried it around in her purse"! Well damn my eyes, my jaw dropped to the floor when I heard that and realized that my so called best friend was so shallow minnows wouldn't have enough water to survive in! I was living in her house at the time, and you can bet I moved out tout de suite! She still doesn't understand what went wrong, and even if I enlightened her, she still wouldn't get it. I hope Winston is returned to his home soon with no harm done.

Mornin Ms Sparky... Winston doesn't even have his sakteboard with him. His owner is in the process of opening up a bar/restaurant with Winston as the centerpiece. He had set up a doggie island outside the building complete with food & water. Winston had been inside watching him work when he went outside to get a bite of food & a drink of water. They have all this documented on video. While Winston is eating, a car pulls up behind him & parks. It's just at the edge of the picture so it cannot be recognized. You can tell by the dog that the driver was calling him over & the dog walks over to the car. The hands come out & the dog goes in. None of this was clear enough to see who the basttard is nor what kind of car it is. Everybody in a 500 mile radius knows this dog. So wtf were they thinking??? They can't even stuff him in their purse as anybody walking past them will know who he is. If he gets near a skateboard,he;ll be off riding. Your friend was an idiot. I LOVE the comment on shallow!!! May I please be allowed to use it on occasion??? I promise I won't abuse it!!!
