Portland Man Fears Someone Stole His Beagle-Mix, Dog Needs Meds

PORTLAND, OR – Take a good look at the puppy in the picture. Her name is Guinness. She's missing. Her owner fears that she's been stolen.

It was Friday evening and Jeffrey Durocher needed a couple of things, so he stopped at the Fred Meyer in Hollywood. He had Guinness – a Beagle/Jack Russell mix – with him so – as he's done many times before – tied her up outside while he ran in.

When he came out she was gone. Get all the latest information on what's happening in your community by signing up for Patch's newsletters and breaking news alerts.

"I just want to get her back," he tells Patch.

Durocher has been with Guinness for almost ten years.

"The thing is that she has infection and is on antibiotics," Durocher says. "She had started the run of the drugs but has not finished them. She will get sicker without them."

Durocher had originally hoped that the two people seen on tape taking her, were trying concerned about a dog tied up and chose to "rescue" her.

"She had two sets of tags and they have not called," he says. "So, now I have my doubts.

"I'm just hoping for the best."
