Today is a sad day for Singaporeans praying for the safe return of Prince, a sheepdog.

If you feel that the name, Prince, is very familiar, that’s because it’s been on the news for quite a bit.

This tri-colour Shetland Shepard allegedly went “missing” under the care of Platinium Dogs Club and was reported missing on 30 Dec.

The video of the sheepdog’s owner, Ms Elaine Mao, going on her knees to beg for information only to be ignored went viral on Facebook.

Updates were coming in and they revealed that Prince could’ve been spotted outside a Butcher shop along Bukit Timah Road.

Yahoo News reported that Mobile Pet Cremation Services had apparently retrieved 3 dogs from PDC’s address at Galistan Avenue on 11, 24 and 25 December for cremation.

This was done “in response to requests made by a woman who had phoned his company” according to a worker at the pet cremation company.

A worker from the pet cremation service provider said the phone that made the call had the same number as the one found on Platinium’s website.

Well, now we know that one of the dogs could’ve been Prince.

The animals found in the pet boarding facility, 18 dogs and 1 rabbit, were all reunited with their owners with the exception of the rabbit and one dog.

That particular dog’s owner is still overseas while the rabbit’s owner was yet to be found.

Investigations are ongoing, and the owner of PDC has been arrested.
