Dog ‘stolen from Loch Lomond by men who fled by speedboat’

A DOG owner fears his dog was stolen by demons on a speedboat in Loch Lomond.

Frances Curley was enjoying a camping trip on the island of Inchconnachan when her border terrier Skye went missing on Sunday.

Frances, from Troon, Ayrshire, was cooking dinner when she turned around to find her two-year-old puppy was missing.

A dedicated Facebook page – Skye Stolen – reports that paddlers saw two men “taking a small brown dog on a speedboat and leaving the island”.

Cops are now investigating the dog theft.

Asked if she thinks Skye was stolen and not just lost, Frances replied: “100%, without a doubt, she was taken.

“The island has been searched twice. She is afraid of her shadow.

“When I was training her I was playing hide and seek to test her, when she realized I was out of her reach she would sniff her way to where I was hiding – always.”

Skye is visually impaired and has medical issues, but is microchipped and sterilized.

When caught, the dog was wearing a pink and white striped collar with two tags, one reading “fur ever yours”.

Police have called on anyone with information to come forward.

A spokeswoman for Police Scotland said: ‘We can confirm that investigations are ongoing into the theft of a border terrier dog in the Loch Lomond area.

“The theft took place around 4:25 p.m. on Sunday June 19.

“Anyone with information that could assist officers should call 101, quoting incident 0213 of June 20, 2022.

“You can also call Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111, if you wish to remain anonymous.”
