Animal Rescue League Of Boston Offers $1k Reward For Stolen Dog

Nick the dog was stolen from the rescue center, say officials from the Animal Rescue League of Boston

BOSTON, MA — Last month a couple walked into the Animal Rescue League of Boston and walked out with a pitt bull type dog, described as a loveable favorite of the staff, and never came back, stealing Nick.

Later, a man accused of stealing Nick communicated to the staff at the league that the dog was originally his but ran off. The staff, though, aren't buying it and are offering a $1,000 reward for the dog's safe return.

The Animal Rescue League is asking for the public's help in finding Nick the dog and hope the upped the ante will help.
