PARAMUS, NJ — Paramus police believe a dog originally reported missing or stolen in Chicago may now be living in Bergen County, and they're asking for the public's help in reuniting them with their owner.

Patch originally reported on this story in April, when Nia Morgan, 24, said the then 10-month-old poodle mix went missing while in the care of a pet sitter hired on the site Rover.com. Read more: Online Pet Sitter Loses Dog, Lies About It, Owner Says

Now, months later, local law enforcement officials believe the dog was sold in the Bergen County area, and police even said that the dog has been seen at local dog parks including Van Saun Park, Ridgewood Duck Pond and Maywood Dog Park.
