Dognapper Demands $10,000 or 'Skipper' Dies
Tue Jul 29,10:51 AM ET

COPENHAGEN (Reuters) - A dognapper in Denmark said he will kill a 13-year old beagle and send his owners a video tape of the dastardly act if his ransom demand for $10,000 is not met, police said Tuesday.



"Skipper," who is so infirm his owners had recently begun taking him out for his perambulations in a child's stroller, was reported missing last Wednesday.

"Since then the couple has spoken to the blackmailer four or five times, but we have advised them not to answer the phone anymore," said a police officer in the small town of Bogense on the island of Fuen in central Denmark.

The small brown and black dog's abductor has not given a final deadline for payment of the ransom. Police have advised his owners not to raise the money.
