Odd: One dog stolen twice!
• Caged dogs
An increasingly bizarre dognapping case is under investigation in Mississippi, involving the same dog taken twice, presumably by the same people, according to the Perry County Sheriff’s Office.
Among the odd details: The second incident occurred in an animal shelter lobby — as staff looked on, the sheriff’s office said in a Nov. 30 news release.
The saga began Nov. 19, when the trained hunting dog “was stolen” while participating in a hunt near New Augusta, 110 miles southeast of Jackson, officials said.
“The dog was later taken to the Pine Belt Animal Shelter and an attempt was made to turn it in as an abandoned animal,” the sheriff’s office said.
“The dog did have a collar with owner’s information on it and it was a tracking collar. Workers at the shelter stated that they were going to contact the owner. The subjects grabbed the dog back up and left the shelter with the dog when the workers attempted to contact the owner.”
The tracking collar was found — minus the dog — “on another date,” officials said.
A surveillance camera took photos of the man and woman who brought the dog to the shelter the officials said. The sheriff’s office posted one of the photos on social media and is seeking help identifying the two.
Investigators have not released the breed and age of the dog. Hunting dog puppies can sell at between $250 (hounds) and $3,500 (retrievers), depending on the breed, according to Huntingpup.com
The department’s Facebook post on the case had more than 300 comments and reactions as of Dec. 5, including some who noted the details were baffling. Others assumed the theft was motivated by “anti-dog hunting” sentiments.
“Isn’t the point of stealing usually to profit the thief? If they aren’t going to keep the dog, why take it to a shelter then leave with it? What is this guy’s game?” one commenter asked.

Dear Obaa Yaa,
I AM in love with Adwoa, a 25-year-old banker. She has a 10-month old daughter and I am not perturbed about that. She said the father of the child broke up with her even before the child was born. I loved her even before I knew she had a child, and when she told me she had a baby, it didn’t change anything. Love was still love, and care still flowed between us.
I spent some nights with her, and the behaviour of her baby makes me feel like there’s another man she knows. She cries when I pick her up.
The same thing happens when she wakes up and sees me in bed with her mother. I’m not comfortable with the way that baby looks at me. It’s as though there’s someone else looking at me through her eyes. She doesn’t blink an eye. She looks at me as if I’m not the one she’s expecting to see. Is this normal?
Papa, Swedru.
Dear Papa,
IT’S understandable you’re feeling a bit uneasy about the baby’s behaviour. Given the situation, it’s likely the baby is just picking up on your energy or adjusting to a new face.
Ten-month-old can be particular about strangers. Try engaging with her more during calm moments, like playtime or when she is fed. Build a bond through activities she enjoys and have an open chat with your girlfriend about how you’re feeling; she might notice things you’ve missed. The intense staring could be curiosity; babies are like that sometimes. Take it easy, and don’t overthink it.

A man who bed-wets went to see a psychiatrist…
Psychiatrist: Does a dream usually precede your bed-wetting?
Man: Yes.
Psychiatrist: Tell me how it happens.
Man: A little demon appears to me in my sleep and says, “Hey… Let us pee.” Then, I wake up to see the bed wet with my urine.
Psychiatrist: This is what you must do. If the demon comes tonight and tells you “let us pee”, just reply him that you have already peed.
The man left and returned the following day with tears streaming down his face.
Psychiatrist: Why are you weeping? Didn’t my therapy work?
Man: You have worsened my case!
Psychiatrist: What? How?
Man: When the demon came, I told him I’d already peed. Then he said, “OK, let us sh*t.”
