Thousand dollar reward for missing pet

By Tasia Boland

It was a usual morning for Lydia and her siblings. They went outside while it was still dark to roam around and play in their big country yard. Every morning when the English Bull Terrier Lydia, the St. Bernard Beauregard and the Basset Hound Lily hear Dad’s voice they coming running in for their breakfast, except this time Lydia didn’t follow the pack.  

The Presutti family searched their Geneseo property and adjacent farms for several days. It has been five weeks since they last saw their family pet. They are offering a $1,000 reward for their 3-year-old spayed English Bull Terrier in hopes to attract some attention. She is wearing a collar with her identification number along with an invisible fence collar. Owner Sharon Presutti believes there is a chance she was stolen.

“She is not a wanderer at all,” Presutti said. “This is not her normal behavior.”

Presutti said Lydia is so friendly, she would jump up into the UPS driver’s truck.

The family has put up flyers all over Livingston County, where they live, Genesee County and elsewhere. So far, no tips but lots of support from the community.

“We have been overwhelmed by all the phone calls from people with support and offers to help. We have our fingers crossed and are so thankful for all the support.”

If you have any information that may be helpful to the Presutti family, please contact them at 585-243-2846 or 585-752-0300, or 585-764-3004.
