Tory Burch's $10K Dog Rescued By NYC Couple, She Says
The famous fashion designer's dog Chicken went missing this week while being walked in Central Park.
CENTRAL PARK, NY — Designer Tory Burch's lost dog Chicken was returned to her safely after the fashionista promised a $10,000 reward for the missing miniature poodle, according to posts on Burch's Instagram account.
Burch posted Tuesday that her 7-month-old poodle had gone missing Sunday night in Central Park near East 61st Street and Fifth Avenue. The story grew more intense when an unknown couple was later seen with the dog in front of a Madison Avenue bank, allegedly telling people they were going to get the pooch's microchip checked.
Around 8 a.m. Wednesday, Burch sent out a post saying Chicken was returned home safe.
