Three Scottish terriers and one cairn terrier — Archie McPhee, Mustang Sally, Boo and Mason — were found after someone stole the van that was about to transport them to the Rose City Classic Winter Dog Show, The Oregonian/Oregon- Live reported. A man at a mobile home park in Vancouver, Washington, found the stolen Mercedes-Benz Metris cargo van abandoned with the dogs inside, the Portland Po- lice Bureau said. Police did not say where exactly or when. On Saturday, the owner of two of the dogs, Ed Cook, left the van running in front of the Oxford Suites hotel while he stepped in- side to tell Vandra Huber, who owns the cargo van and the oth- er two dogs, and her co-breeder, Cheryl James, that it was time to leave for the dog show. Someone took the van in that short time span, police said. Two of the dogs, Archie McPhee and Mustang Sally, were 6-month-old puppies. The person who found the dogs de- clined a $10,000 reward, Huber said on Sunday.
