PENNY
- was
stolen August 21, 2001 from Mebane. Her owner Bonnie,
found help on the internet immediately to help guide her through
her search. Penny was home on August 25, 2001.
Here is the first letter accounting what happened to Penny and a
thank you to all who helped.
Read
this story from Bonnie....
Penny
has been FOUND and is now home!! She was taken by a woman
who must be mentally disturbed. The woman has been in
Texas the last 3 years, and just returned to our area. She
told the sheriff today that she'd had a horse that looked 'just
like Penny' when she left our area. She said she couldn't
even remember where she'd left her horse. Clearly, she
hadn't been paying board to anyone to keep her! When she
saw Penny, she just 'knew' it was her horse, so she simply CAME
AND GOT HER. According to the deputy who arrived at the
scene, I may not be able to prosecute this woman, if she indeed
'thought Penny was her horse' and meant no criminal intent.
I am going to take the matter up with the District Attorney on
Monday morning and do everything I can to press charges.
Interestingly, I had seen this woman drive onto the farm Monday
afternoon. She was driving a small white station wagon
with a dog barrier in the back. I had just seen a stray
dog near the farm. I thought she may be looking for her
dog. As the woman drove out of the farm, I jumped into my
truck and chased her down the driveway, but she got away before
I could say anything to her. I wanted to tell her about
the dog I saw. On the way to get Penny today, I remembered
seeing this woman and said to my husband, 'I wonder if she
drives a small white station wagon?' Sure enough, there it
was in the driveway of the house where we were reunited with Penny. I
owe a HUGE debt of gratitude to everyone who has been on the
lookout for Penny. Friends I have never even met united in
an awesome force to help bring my girl home. But, above
all, I want to say a very special Thank You to Debi Metcalfe,
Idaho's 'Mom', who has been my unfailing source of strength and
guidance throughout this awful ordeal. Thanks and
brightest blessings to all of you. Sincerely, Bonnie
Booker and Penny
