If anyone sees either or both of these two puppies, please report them immediately to the Columbus Global Village Team! No, they are not wanted for being so adorably cute. They are wanted for Grand Theft Camera!
The Background: Rebecca, Regina, Sarah, Lisa, Casey, Lauren and Jonathan spent an unintended night in Johannesburg due to a missed flight connection. Delta blamed the delay on a “surprise inspection” by the TSA, and denied vouchers for accommodations and food. The group made their way to a hotel near the airport, where, along with comfortable rooms and good service, they found these two playful puppies.

The Facts: As they were departing in the morning, the bell captain asked, “Is anyone missing a camera? This one was found in the puppies’ bed.” It was early. No one recognized the camera he held up, and the incident was forgotten amidst the hustle and bustle of an early departure.

The Dastardly Deed: Until, that is, they reached the departure gate at the huge Tambo International airport where Regina reached for her camera and discovered it missing. The seven travelers conferred together and, sleuths that they are, quickly deduced that indeed the camera the bell captain held had been Regina’s. And, that it was the puppies who stole it from their room the evening before.

The Loss: Unfortunately, the group had already crossed through passport control, so they could not return to attempt a recovery. Inquiries will be made to the hotel tomorrow as to the feasibility of mailing the camera to Molepolole, but no one is holding their breath on the chances of that.

The Bottom Line: We need help! We need the dog police. We need InterDogPol. We need YOU. Don’t let these dogs use their cute act on another unsuspecting tourist. Report them NOW!
