SCAM:  Monetary Collections To Benefit Roadrunner Food Bank

One almost shudders to think of the dire circumstance for the canine after his coat was stolen right off of his back, just outside a market while snow was on the ground and cold was in the air:

A Park Slope pooch was left shivering in the buff after a cold-hearted mugger stole his coat just days before a raging winter storm bore down on the city.
