So I posted the following on an internet site in the hope of getting some help with this:
I need the plate of this truck
I had a puppy in a stock trailer behind my truck, and either someone let it out or it got out itself. About an hour after I parked, at 13:47:41 the pup ran out from under my truck to the nearest person, and at 1:48:01 over to the feet of the guy who picked it up and put it into his truck.
When I came out and found the pup gone I checked with the auction office, had them do an announcement, called the police, called the human society, and finally remembered i had the dashcam footage, which explained what happened.
So I need the plate to help get my pup back. any help appreciated.
Sorry about being a dufus and posting long videos. i would cut it down to size if I could figure out how to do it.
Pretty straightforward, and the license plate of the truck of the person who took the pup is visible. Posted that late last night, and woke up to the following:

Not a lot of help, but sure as the world a lot of hand wringing and anger on those threads.
Some people just don't really understand animals, especially working animals. I get in trouble with my co-workers pretty frequently for bringing my dogs to work and leaving them in my SUV for a few hours before I leave to go hunting with them (50-75 degrees usually, occasionally colder, but I don't risk the heat in a car) . Are these people planning on rounding up all the wolves and coyotes and rescuing them from the hot or cold out of doors?
Bottom line, my dogs get a life that most suburban mutts can only dream of, much like your pup would have had. It's a shame that the average American pet owner doesn't understand that.
I agree with you Josiah. Farm dogs lead the dogs life you see on the pet food commercials. It's the life that most folks think about when they buy a pup. But for most dogs, particularly urban dogs, they're inside most of their lives, and a once-a-week walk is a big treat for them.
The next day I did put a probe thermometer on the lower floor where the pup was. Outside temp was 75 degrees, inside the stock trailer it was 72, and the trailer had been in the sun all day.
I asked one guy if his theory would be different if we were talking about pigs or cattle or sheep or whatever in the trailer, and his reply was "dogs aren't livestock and shouldn't be in stock trailers".
I did have a pet carrier with me, but figured it would be too hot in the plastic pet crate, and that the pup would be more comfortable in the big trailer.
The majority of people are getting farther and farther away from reality. I guess real reality. Most of us are learning a lot about virtual reality. Should that be an oxymoron?
Will you let us know the story if you get your puppy back? Sorry for your troubles.
Crazyness! Have you heard anything about your pup, Bruce?
So since I posted this the internet has pretty much concluded that the 2nd-to-last digit of the license plate is a "3". I'm hoping that the internet is smarter than I am, but even just the "3" makes it easier to positively identify the truck if I run across it in the parking lot.
With the tool box and standard cab and distinctive trailer I'm sure I'll be able to ID it if it's there next saturday, and some folks go to the auction every one.
No word from the police department yet, and no response to my craigslist ads. I've been watching craigslist to see if the pup goes up for sale.
Best guess is that someone is very happy with their new puppy - but there's always hope for getting it back. I'll keep working on it.
