Two days before she came home, I wrote about a dog spotted hanging around the local Burger King that looked a lot like Bean. When Bryan got there he saw a loose dog, but it was not Bean. He made sure this dog got back to his owner, and came home.
It turns out that Bean probably was there at the Burger King that Friday afternoon. But before Bryan could get there, another man picked her up and took her home with him. This was the man who saw our flier on Sunday and later gave her back to us. So all those people who called us actually had seen Bean hanging out at Burger King. (Thanks, people!)
Judging by her weight, it seems she spent quite a bit of time feasting on Whoppers and french fries culled from the dumpsters behind the restaurant. Since we got her back, she has been on her normal, no-frills diet. She had to go back to the vet this past Monday to get her vaccinations, and is now back at her pre-dog-napping weight. While we are pleased that her very becoming girlish figure has returned, we will miss calling her Fatty McFatdog.
Do you smell fries? I could have sworn I smelled fries out here...

If she ever gets lost again (hopefully NEVER, NEVER, NEVER!), you know you'll be able to find her with a whopper and french fries!
Hey, we all love a burger and fry once in awhile....
Glad she is home and happy.

Thought you might be willing to help - maybe do a post on your blog since you got such a tremendous response from the community when Bean was stolen.
HELP US FIND A DOG STOLEN FROM HER FOSTER HOME
There was a break in Friday night in a Durham home and the only things stolen were a few electronic items and ‘Gizmo’ a loving, 12 year old female Pekinese dog being fostered through the APS of Durham. ‘Gizmo’ was secure in her crate while her foster parents were out for the evening, but was missing when they returned.
A police report has been filed of the crime, which occurred in the S. Miami Blvd and I-40 area.
‘Gizmo” was surrendered by her previous owner on January 24th and went to a foster home in early February. ‘Gizmo’ is scheduled to go to an adoption event at PetSmart at Patterson Place on Sunday, where people can come meet adoptable dogs from the APS.
If anyone sees a dog that looks like this picture or notices a person who has a newly acquired older Pekinese dog that seems to be under suspicious circumstances, please notify police.
Further details will be available soon and possibly a reward will be offered for her safe return.
Please help us reunite ‘Gizmo’ with her foster home soon!
