‘Beautiful’ dog missing

A Pakenham family is devastated after their beloved Boxer Kota went missing.

The 17-month-old dog hasn’t been seen in days; there have been no sightings of her since Saturday 11 June.

Owner Karen Booth has flooded community Facebook groups with posts in the hopes of finding someone with information about the whereabouts of the dog.

The family’s Pakenham Lakeside home backs onto the train line near the Cardinia Train Station and flyers have been placed around the neighbourhood at Pakenham Marketplace, Pakenham Lakeside Square, and Cardinia, Pakenham and Officer train stations.

Ms Booth said her family was “absolutely devastated”.

“She is a beautiful pure bred Boxer and very much a mummy’s girl,” she said.

“She is skittish and shy and has no collar on which would make it harder to catch her.

“She will be frightened, hungry, very sore and tired.”

Ms Booth has phoned the local council, veterinary clinics, and pounds but no Boxer puppy has been brought in.

She now fears Kota has been stolen.

“I am a single mother with two young children. We are beyond devastated and want our precious girl returned to us.”

A reward is being offered to anyone who find Kota.

If found, please contact Karen on 0418 109 767.
