Mattie is a sweet little dog who disappeared after the car he was in was stolen in November 2006 from the University City Loop in St. Louis, Missouri. His owners, Tom & Alice Matthews from Michigan, were visiting St. Louis and were window shopping in the Loop at the time. The purpose of this web site is to get Mattie back home where he belongs. If you can volunteer to help find Mattie, or if you have any information, please e-mail whereintheworldismattie@gmail.com.
If you find a dog that fits Mattie's description, here's one detail you can look at closely: Mattie's nose. Mattie's nose is pinkish toward the front, with a "black dot" toward the middle. Keep in mind, though, that color of dog's noses can change some as the climate changes. The picture shown here was taken last August.
Special note to Darnell Riley, James Butler, and James Holmes: The criminal part of this case is over and yes we will pay you the reward no questions asked. Contact us!
Mattie: Small, white, fluffy, male mixed breed, approx. 20 lbs. In the picture below, his hair is a lot shorter than it usually is.
Where seen: Our hope remains that Mattie was set free in the Park Lane/Harney area as we've been told. We've been told that one of the kids hit him with a golf club and he ran off. Based on sightings, we think he took off towards Jennings and from there he seems to have disappeared.
Reward: $25,000 for help finding Mattie. Reward will be paid out in cash confidentially. Recipient of the reward may remain anonymous if desired with no media attention.
