Walter!

Walter is an 11 year old deaf Yorkshire Terrier who lives in the Los Feliz neighborhood of Los Angeles with actress Tricia O'Kelly. Walter was also dognapped. He was held for 5 days and a ransom demand had been made. He was being held for $1,000. The dognapper also demanded the actress make fake reward signs. Police traced the call form a pay phone in North Hollywood.  A meet up was set up at a Hollywood Chevron station with a plainclothes police officer. Then a call came saying the dognapper suspected cops. The dognapper then claim he was keeping the dog.
Well Walter has returned home. A white car with tinted windows stopped on Los Feliz Blvd near Griffith Park and dropped Walter off. He was found by a dog walker and returned home. He's fine by the way.
Dognapping? Deaf dog? $1,000? Plainclothes? Pay Phones? Wasn't this once a Disney movie starring Keenan Wynne? No this is local news.
