Police in St. Lawrence County have launched an investigation after more than a dozen area canines have mysteriously disappeared over the past three weeks.
"St. Lawrence County Sheriff's Deputies would like to warn the public and seek their assistance after receiving multiple reports of missing dogs over the last few weeks," a statement from the St. Lawrence County Sheriff's Department says.
According to police, the sheriff's office and the dog control officer received reports from several towns such as Lisbon, Canton and Potsdam saying that at least 10 dogs have gone missing.
St. Lawrence County Animal Control Officer James McConkey estimates that at least 15 dogs all within a 26-mile radius in St. Lawrence County have disappeared. While he knows it's not uncommon for dogs to run away, he says the circumstances of these cases are causes for concern.
"There have been a few where people had them in a fenced-in yard, with no way for the dog to get out, and they disappeared," he says. "In another, a dog was removed from its chain."................
