<\/p>\nA Beechview dog owner is asking for the return of his 7-year-old German shepherd.<\/p>\n
It’s been nearly two weeks since Frank Gale’s dog, Flame, disappeared, and the waiting has become unbearable.<\/p>\n
“I just can’t, I can’t.” Frank Gale hangs his head low and continues, “It’s too much.”<\/p>\n
“I feel like I lost a child. He’s our boy. That’s my wife’s constant companion, and now they just stole him from me basically. They stole my child,” Gale explained.<\/p>\n

They’ve had Flame since he was a puppy.<\/p>\n
The German shepherd disappeared during the Dec. 13 storm. He opened the door from the family’s den to the garage and escaped.<\/p>\n
“I haven’t seen him since,” Gale said.<\/p>\n
From utility poles to tree trunks on and around Rockland Avenue, signs are posted, each one a plea to bring him home.<\/p>\n
“I’m just completely devastated,” Gale continued, “I don’t know what to do because everybody I went to just passed me off to another, and when I went to the police, they said it’ll go to the bottom of the pile. My dog deserves better than the bottom of the pile.”<\/p>\n
