Very sad. Good luck. Perhaps Michael should have offerred a reward for Koota's safe return. From a fellow Staffy owner.

Fingers crossed you find him Michael! Hope those who have taken him have a heart and return him back to you... Good Luck

Saw the tweet, I helped by retweeting as Michael suggested. Good luck Hibbo.

Might want to start with the breeder. Brock McLean got his dog from the same place and it has been stolen as well. It's not by accident these guys are stumbling apon these breeds, they know exactly where to go to find them. Look for the common link between the dogs, and you will find the solution I reckon.

Try looking in Footscray - everyone else is going there!

Hope he is found soon,before some wag in surrey park assumes Koota's identity.. Everything crossed for you Hibbo :-)

Could have come up with a better name for the dog sounds like a Carlscum player!!! In all seriousness I Hope you find him he looks like a really good pup!!

Koota is microchipped, We miss him so much! Tell your friends and family about what's happened and help get him back home. Koota deserves to be back with his true family. Every little bit helps!!

- carly hibberd (posted 6/10/2011 5:55:52 PM)

Koota!! I'd say he's somewhere in Carlton then! But in all seriousness I hope Koota is safe and returns to his rightful owner soon.

- Leigh Farrugia (posted 6/10/2011 7:25:28 PM)

Poor Michael hope someone finds Koota.

Wouldnt wish it upon my worst enemy, good luck pal

- Daniel Bradford (posted 6/10/2011 9:10:37 PM)

Hmm, Seems like something i've read about before... This happened to James Hird's 250th game jumper, in '07. If you check the news archive. I hope everything turns out great for you Hibbo!

- Liam Crimmins (posted 6/10/2011 9:53:55 PM)

i heard he got him back today , great news!!

- James Madden (posted 7/10/2011 8:26:55 PM)

Can someone confirm that he has him back - and details! Love the scum to be caught doing this. (find out who he/she supports, and if they have teeth, unshowered, wearing a gold jacket, dyed hair maybe?)

- Brad Scarr (posted 8/10/2011 9:02:39 AM)

I hope he did. Now do the decent thing and rename him "Gadget".

Good news peeps, Michael has been reunited with his dog. He was all smiles at the Crichton Medal last night.

I am really glad that you got Koota back Michael, and I will be glad when you are back in our senior team, playing in your very dogged and skilful way, you can take a good mark, and you are a very good player overall.
