You’ve no doubt seen the myriad posters around Greenpoint alerting the community about missing dog Frankie. Great news – Frankie has now been found!
Frankie, a scruffy little terrier mix, was last seen in Greenpoint at Java Street and Manhattan Avenue and had been missing since December 20th. True North Pet Rescue, the NYC-based volunteer-run and foster-based rescue that was housing Frankie, first alerted the community to Frankie’s absence.

As a proud owner of a dog named Frank I have many stories to relate. But the one that stands out is how the mutt got it’s name.
A friend of my brother whom we shall call Cyr for simplicitys sake brought the cute puppy home one day with the name Damnit. He purportedly did this so he could call it just by saying “Come here Damnit!”. With five minor kids living in the house, Mom was not amused! So Cyr changed the name of the forlorn looking pup to Frank. She, like other youngsters of our family, was neither obedient nor chaste. In any case, one day Dad who usually fed Frank failed to find the wirey pup in the usual place outside the plate glass door. He went in search. After a good while and worry Dad found Frank forlornly at the usual spot. But the pup soon disappeared again. After some uneasy searching he decided to follow that mongrel. Much to his shock he finally found the mutt in a cubby hole behind and slightly under the red
brick house nursing eight little pups as varied in appearance as if each were from an alien land, one cuter than the last. Frank, formerly Damnit, was in fact the doting mother of eight tiny blind aliens.
