The owner was surprised to discover, via surveillance cameras, that her dog had disappeared and had been replaced by…
Since their first meeting, little Olivia, aged 7, and Gunnar, an 11-year-old Siberian Husky, have been close and inseparable. For the little girl who lives in Gloucester, Massachusetts, this dog is none other than her best friend with whom she shares everything. Such a closeness that Amanda, the owner, has allowed her to come into her garden to play with him for several years. They grow up together and share many discoveries. Sometimes, the young child jokes by declaring that she is Gunnar’s mistress and that she would take him with her, but the one who really adopted him never really took her statements seriously… Until the day she realizes that her dog has disappeared!
It was the surveillance cameras that of course revealed the culprit. Little Olivia had planned her plan down to the smallest detail… On the video, we see her simply kidnap Gunnar by sneaking into the neighboring garden. The dog follows her, trusting. But what she leaves in exchange is rather amusing.
Indeed, in order not to be spotted or arouse suspicion, Olivia had prepared her move well. She took care to exchange the Husky for a perfect replica… in plush, which she placed on the ground. Of course, she did not forget to remove Gunnar’s collar on which was written “mummy’s little one” to place it on the plush. She then put another collar on her new furry companion, on which was written “Olivia’s little one”.
“When I got the notification from my garden camera and saw Olivia coming in, I thought she had gone there to play with him” explains the owner, who was not overly worried, given that her dog was just a stone’s throw from her house, with his friend.I wasn’t really worried. I saw everything that was going on and they play together so often that I knew it was going to be okay.” Before going to retrieve her Husky, Amanda let the little girl savor her “victory” for a few moments.Did you steal my dog? she asks him? The little girl is then forced to confess, smiling shyly.
