Theme Park Kennel In The Doghouse
Aug 4, 2004 9:30 am US/Eastern
ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) The Universal Orlando theme park is in the doghouse after losing a puppy a guest had left at its kennel.
Joe Wheat thought Connor, a 4-month-old white Labrador retriever, was in good hands during his visit on Saturday. And Connor was, until the moment the kennel handed him to someone else.
"We take care of more than 5,000 animals a year, and this is the first time we've ever faced a situation like this," Universal spokesman Tom Schroder said Tuesday.
Wheat said when he dropped off Connor, with his favorite chew toy, at the 117-cage kennel on Saturday afternoon, he filled out a form that asked for information on himself and his dog. He should've received a pink duplicate that acts as a claim ticket, but didn't.
When Wheat returned about six hours later to retrieve his retriever, Connor was gone. The dog had been checked out by someone with the ticket.
On Sunday, Wheat found Conner's toy in the park's RV parking lot, about 300 feet away from the kennel. Wheat said he was upset park officials wouldn't let him review security tapes.
"At this point, we're trying to understand what happened and, and more importantly, trying to get Conner back to Mr. Wheat," Schroder said.
