“I’d take him down to the beach, and it was a kind of therapy.”
But on Thursday, August 3, somebody utilized bolt cutters on a padlock to get entry to the Trina Place home where Hades was remaining and took him.
The burglar took Hades however didn’t take another German Shepherd at the residence, leading Pickett to think it was a purposeful act.
Heartbroken, Pickett has actually been searching for the dog that “means everything” to him.
“I know I’m not perfect,” he composed in one post.
“I’ve done bad things in my life but nobody deserves this. Please give my boy back. He means everything to me and my family.”
