Blomberg.net reports that Vivi, the missing whippet has been seen again. Apparently the Westminster Dog Show champion was glimpsed several times in New York's Flushing neighborhood during the past week.The latest sighting was... at 3:45 a.m. Tuesday, New York time, when a man spotted Vivi in Flushing Cemetery. He took his Doberman into the cemetery and the two dogs touched noses, according to a search volunteer.
The whippet's owners have posted a $5,000 reward for her, and the search has drawn more than a hundred volunteers to the New York suburb, located about 10 miles north of JFK Airport.
Volunteers plan a stakeout on March 25, when they will assign teams to different areas to stay put and watch for the whippet to make an appearance. In the meantime, traps have been set in the cemetary, and the owners are hopeful that they will soon have their dog back.
Vivi is a purebred whippet, which resembles a miniature greyhound. She is mostly white with dark brown stripes called brindle. She has brown ears and a dark head, with what looks like a white stripe down her face. Whippets are fast, and can hit speeds of up to 25 mph within seconds from a virtual standstill.
