On 4/27/12 at 6:02 my 17 week old puppy Otis went out are front door down 16 stairs at 1512 Ardmore in Manhattan Beach at 6:08 my sun
comes running down the stairs looking for him and he is gone. I live
4 house from the corner of 15th and Ardmore. That night and all
weekend we posted and looked for him not one call came in from my
posters. Monday I received a call from a man that said he picks his
kids up at live Oak Monday thru Friday at about p.m. he and his kids
saw the dog get picked up by a Hispanic man and young girl. So I
filed a report but not much luck on getting my dog back. I could go
on and tell you how much this dog has helped heal my family in the 11
weeks we have had him he has done magic for Us. As a family we have
been dealing with all that comes from divorce. In April of 2011 we
had to put are 10yr old Rot down, so one year later to have Otis
taken is more than heart braking. I know you helped with the puppy
that was taken from MB mall. Please let me know if you can post any
thing about Otis
Thank You

"She's very friendly," said owner Sandra, and they've spotted people picking the cat up in the past.
The cat -- a very thin calico with gray, cream and white colorings, about 5 years old -- was wearing a pink collar. She was last seen last Tuesday (4/24) in the 800 block of 10th Street, between Cabrillo and Meyler.
If you've seen the cat or have any information, call Sandra at 310-547-2901.
Here are some of the photos I took while I was there:
"Adopt me!"
Celebrity dogs! Making special appearances were Chloe and Papi from Disney's "Beverly Hills Chihuahua" and Uggie from the Academy-Award winning film "The Artist":

This surprises me, but apparently sales are sluggish for that specialty California plate for pet lovers.
Supporters have come up short in getting the needed numbers of California motorists to pre-order the plates which help pay for spay neuter surgeries in the state. The pre-order process began in September 2010.
The good news is the state Legislature has granted an extension, giving supporters more time and is awaiting the governor's signature.
NBC San Diego reported earlier:
Campaign president Judie Mancuso says the volunteer effort has no money for advertising. And people who bought the plate have nothing to show for it.
Mancuso says Petco stores have started handing out fliers with every purchase and the Legislature is considering an extension if needed.
Current law states that in order to get a DMV specialty license plate into production, a non-profit must have 7,500 pre-orders and a sponsoring state agency.
So far, over 4,500 pre-orders have come in for the California Pet Lover's License Plate, generating $278,000 in the pre-order process. They need 7,000 pre-sales for the plates to start production.You can order the plates on the website.
A low-cost microchip clinic will be held as part of this Saturday's (4/28) Downey Street Faire by the the Found Animals Foundation. Time is 10 a.m. Check the link for details.
But did you also know that Dick Clark loved dogs?
Clark, who died today at the age of 82, liked to keep his office "dog friendly." He also had a heated dog house for his own pooches at home.
From the iLoveDogs website:
...the office floor was strewn with chew toys, tennis balls and bones, and the supply closet was stuffed with plenty of dog treats.
Clark liked to name his dogs after hit songs: for example, Molly (Little Richard's "Good Golly, Miss Molly"); Maybelline (the title of a Chuck Berry tune); and Eleanor (the Beatles' "Eleanor Rigby").
"Most of our dogs were brought up here in the office so they have office manners," Clark told Golden. "We now have a new guy, a Weimaraner, who's just a year old but quite tall. His name is Henry the 8th. He's our eighth dog and it's another rock 'n' roll song."
The dogs were allowed to roam around the building, and they occasionally nosed their way into the conference room during tense business meetings.
My editor says having dogs roaming around the newsroom would be way too distracting. A few of us here would probably agree. But we'd like it anyway.

From strong-willed terriers to weirdly obsessed Australian shepherds, they've invaded her world with boundless energy, wet noses, muddy paws and soggy tennis balls. But they've really brought so much more than that -- like laughter and joy, some unexpected life lessons, and more than a few tears along the way.
