- Beauty, a Japanese akita, was reportedly stolen from her owner’s house on July 9 by and was found twenty days later.
Dubai: For 20 days, Beauty was in hell. Or at least that’s how Salem (name changed) described her condition when he retrieved her from her abductors in a villa in Sharjah on July 29.
She was very skinny, had attack wounds and droopy eyes. The whole of her back had flea bite dermatitis.
Beauty is a one-year-old Japanese Akita that has been with Salem since she was three months old. She was like a family member, Salem said. Hence, when she went ‘missing’ on July 9, the family was shattered.
“I went looking for Beauty here and there but we couldn’t find her,” Salem, a businessman, told Gulf News.
The next day, word spread in the neighbourhood that three men had attempted to abduct his neighbour’s dog. But a French woman was quick enough to snatch the dog back. The men fled the scene immediately. The French woman, however, could not be reached for comment as of press time.
Twenty days later, Salem received a tip from a pet shop owner that a Japanese Akita matching Beauty’s description was being sold in Sharjah. Salem pretended to be a buyer and tried to strike a deal with the dog keeper.
