<\/p>\nGizmo is an 11-year-old chihuahua who\u2019s been missing from his Winnipeg home since Friday. His owner says he went for a walk with someone known to her but never returned. Now, she\u2019s offering a $1,200 reward, hoping to bring him home safely.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhere is he? Is he warm? Is he fed? Like what?\u201d asked Amanda Pottery, Gizmo\u2019s owner.<\/p>\n
Pottery says\u00a0the walk was only supposed to last for an agreed-upon amount of time, but as that time approached, she began to worry. When she tried contacting the person Gizmo was with, she couldn\u2019t reach her. Since then, she\u2019s been searching neighbourhoods, handing out posters and following up on possible sightings.<\/p>\n

\u201cI am really putting myself out there. This dog doesn\u2019t have a voice, it\u2019s as simple as that. He doesn\u2019t have a voice. He can\u2019t protect himself. He can\u2019t, you know, he can\u2019t do anything,\u201d said Pottery.<\/p>\n
Pottery believes the person who originally left with Gizmo may also be missing, although Winnipeg police did not confirm that despite CityNews\u2019 request for comment on Wednesday. Pottery says she doesn\u2019t know who has her dog now, and her biggest priority is making sure everyone involved is safe.<\/p>\n

\u201cI especially don\u2019t want anybody to be attacking whoever has the dog because we don\u2019t know who has the dog right now. We don\u2019t know if it was the individual that took it, somebody that found it. And no matter who it was, I don\u2019t want anybody getting hurt in this process,\u201d said Pottery.<\/p>\n
Gizmo is black and brown, with a small bald spot on his head. Pottery says he\u2019s never been away from home like this before. Pottery has also filed a report with Winnipeg police.<\/p>\n

\u201cI truly just want Gizmo back. So, I\u2019ve said it so many times, any, you know, Co-op, gas station, McDonald\u2019s, like, I don\u2019t care. Just drop him off, leave my phone number and just walk away and I will happily come pick him up and that\u2019s the end of it. Like, I just really, we want our baby back.\u201d<\/p>\n
