I am a sucker for little spunky dogs, and Mango, 'The Key Lime Pie Pooch' seems to be a real character. Unfortunately, he has gone missing and his owner wants him back. Read on.
Someone absconded with our trusty sidekick Mango on Saturday, November 22,2008 at approximately 7:00 PM from in front of Jake's BBQ and the B-61 Bar, corner of Degraw and Columbia streets. For the past few years, Mango has hung out at that corner, greeting passing dogs in his venerable fashion, entertaining those of us who have come to know him, greeting customers of Alma and B-61 (sometimes laying on the doormat inside the entrance). In his many years of untethered freedom, he has lived as good a life as a dog could. Mango does not leave that corner with the exception of walking half a block in either direction to make his mark. As much as one might beg him to follow, he would not leave his life and his routine for the past 4+ years. The price we pay now for allowing him his freedoms is that there are some who would just help themselves to whatever they would like, regardless of any thought beyoind what they want. So be it. If indeed some nefarious neverdowell did scoop him off, I am asking the good people of Brooklyn to assist in returning Mango to his rightful home and his rightful routine with our family and friends, including his 32 children, his partner Mammey and us.
If you have seen him or know where he is, call the number on the flier above or click here.

sounds real cute - but reading between lines is dog was not nueutered and left 'untethered'.
In other words, sounds neglected and unlawful by NYC leash laws.
IF something happened to the dog it is owners being irresponsible.
Sorry I have no sympathy.
Mango is sooo cute--I hope he is okay
Please please bring Mango back. Red Hook and his many sons & daughters miss him
Eddy ( his son)
And Anonymous, you don't what you are talking about. Everyone knows Mango and where he belongs.
There are some out there thinking and suggesting Mango's "human" family were negligent in caring for him. This is so far from the truth! Mango is married and is the proud papa of 8 litters of beautiful puppies! His daddy, Steve, is so distraught over this, as well as the rest of us who know Mango was incredibly well cared for and loved!
The crime here is taking Mango from the world he knows, the family he loves and love him, and the absurdity of any one implying this is justified!
PLEASE, PLEASE return Mango or if anyone has any information please call the number on the flyer!
