    Please keep an eye out for this amazing pup

    Dog breed

    "We have no proof my Ollie is actually dead, besides what he has texted us. No pictures or proof. So keep your eye out for my Ollie please!!!"

    Here to hoping Ollie was indeed sold off, and the new owners see this post and do the right thing. #JusticeForOllie
