Free Mango

After a week recharging the batteries, morganobrien.com returns ready to serve. Unfortunately, our first post back details the disheartening news of a dognapping:

Help Find Missing Key Lime Pie Pup
Steve Tarpin, who runs Steve's Key Lime Pies in Brooklyn, has been looking for his missing dog since Saturday. Mango, a Jack Russell terrier, was last seen outside Jake's BBQ and the B-61 Bar, at the corner of Degraw and Columbia Streets in Red Hook, where he often sat, greeting other dogs and customers--more details here. Tarpin tells the Post, "Absolutely someone took him. He would never walk away with anyone. Even if they were dragging a T-bone behind them he wouldn't go." He adds on his website, "If indeed some nefarious naerdowell did scoop him off, I am asking the good people of Brooklyn to assist in returning Mango to his rightful home and his rightful routine with our family and friends, including his 32 children, his partner Mammey and us."

MANGO ALERT
Someone absconded with our trusty sidekick Mango on Saturday, November 22, 2008 at aproxamently 7:00 PM from in front of Jake's BBQ and the B-61 Bar, corner of Degraw and Columbia streets. For the past few years, Mango has hung out at that corner, greeting passing dogs in his venerable fashion, entertaining those of us who have come to know him, greeting customers of Alma and B-61 (sometimes laying on the doormat inside the entrance). In his many years of untethered freedom, he has lived as good a life as a dog could.

Be sure to check back for updates. Rest assurred, Morganobrien.com will not rest until Mango is found.
