Olivia Munn and her Reddit AMA update
People and Olivia Munn’s fans were aware that a dog named Benny has gone missing from the Battery Park area and the police were trying to trace it. Olivia is a spokesperson and investor in the app. A Reddit AMA user asked her:
“Have you all found that dog that was stolen yet?”
Olivia promptly addressed this controversy and said:
“Yes!! Thank god! That’s why I was late to the AMA, I’ve been up all night,”
She continued:
“I wanted to make sure we got Benny home safe with Sophie and Max. Huge huge gratitude to the NYPD and Detective Kaufman for working so hard and moving so fast to bring Benny home,”
About the robbery of dog Benny
Benny is a Shih Tzu-Yorkie mix. The owners of this pet dog are Max Troper and Sophie Troper. Benny had disappeared from the couple’s Battery Park home in a building this Thursday 13 June 2019. The police entered the scene and started their investigation.
The police suspected that a walker from the Uber for dog walking app might have committed the crime since these people are the only ones who have access to a spare key to the home.
They sprung into action and identified the culprit as Christian Madriaga, 22 of the app company. The police then arrested Christian on burglary charges. There has been no official statement forthcoming from the police. It is also not known whether Christian has pleaded guilty to the crime or not.
Wag thanks NYPD
People were happy with the action of the local police. The Wag released a statement after the police found the dog which read:
“The entire team at Wag! is thrilled that Benny has been found and is home safely with his parents. We thank the New York Police Department officers involved in finding Benny.”
