Search Called Off for Missing Show Dog
The search for an award-winning show dog that got loose at Kennedy Airport was called off, but officers in the area are still keeping an eye out for the wayward whippet, authorities said.
Searchers covered the airport’s nearly 5,000 acres over a 24-hour period but did not spot the dog, said Alan Hicks, a spokesman for the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey.
Vivi, a 3-year-old champion, won an award of merit at the Westminster Kennel Club this week. The dog apparently escaped her cage on the tarmac Wednesday as she was about to be loaded onto a plane for the flight home to Southern California.
