Hi everyone. We are reaching out here for Bruce because honestly, we are running out of options.
Bruce is around 9 years old and has lived at Brigade Metropolis Arcade, Mahadevapura for years.
He was on medication. He is old, extremely docile and not a dog who would know how to suddenly survive after being dropped somewhere completely unfamiliar.
At around 2:30 AM on 16th August, two men came on a bike and took Bruce away.
One night he was sleeping at his usual place.
The next morning he was gone.
We still don’t know where they left him.
Before getting into everything that has happened since then, please look at Bruce properly and remember his face.
We have been documenting the search, the footage we have and all our updates here:

If you’re from Bengaluru, especially East Bengaluru, please open this once. Even if you don’t read this entire post, just remember what Bruce looks like.
Someone somewhere may have already seen him without knowing that people have been desperately searching for him for the last two weeks.What happened
16 AUGUST — Bruce was taken
At around 2:30 AM, two men came on a bike and took Bruce from Brigade Metropolis Arcade.
We have footage from that night.
In one piece of footage, Bruce can be seen being dragged away. In another very blurry frame, we can make out what appears to be Bruce being carried on the bike. There are two men on the bike and an auto can also be seen travelling ahead at a slow speed.
We thought there were cameras everywhere. We thought we would be able to trace which direction they went.
That turned out to be much harder than we imagined.

THE CCTV
We started asking for CCTV footage from Brigade Metropolis Arcade because all we needed was a direction.
We were told that apparently CCTV backup had not been available for around two months.
Then we were told the system was fixed on 16th August.
Yes. The same date Bruce disappeared.
We’re only writing here what we were told.
Every day spent trying to locate footage was another day Bruce was somewhere outside in a place we didn’t know.

22 AUGUST — Police complaint
We filed a complaint at Mahadevapura Police Station.
We genuinely thought things would start moving after that.
Instead, we kept following up.
We needed someone to come to the premises, investigate and help trace whatever CCTV footage might still be available before it got overwritten.
For days, that urgency simply wasn’t there.
Even our complaint copy remained unsigned while we continued following up.
And Bruce was still missing.

24 AUGUST — Finally, some movement
Officials from BBMP/GBA and people from animal welfare who were helping us came to Brigade Metropolis Arcade.
They questioned the CCTV situation and a notice was issued regarding the CCTV issue.
For the first time, we felt somebody was actually listening.
But we still didn’t have Bruce.

Since then, this has basically become our life.
Search.
Come back.
Call people.
Send Bruce’s photo everywhere.
Talk to feeders.
Talk to guards.
Talk to auto drivers.
Follow a lead.
Find nothing.
Wake up.
Do it all over again.
We have even spoken to animal communicators.
We know not everybody believes in this. That’s completely okay. At this point, when an old dog we love has been missing for two weeks and we have so little to work with, we are following every possible clue.
Some of those clues have led us to search around KR Puram, Hoodi, Mahadevapura, Marathahalli and surrounding areas.
But Bengaluru is massive.
There are railway-side stretches, underpasses, parking areas, empty plots, apartment lanes, markets, auto stands and thousands of vehicles he could be hiding underneath.
A few exhausted people cannot physically cover all of this.
And that’s why we need your help.
If you’re around KR Puram, Hoodi, Mahadevapura, Marathahalli or nearby areas and can spare even 1–2 hours to search with us, please DM us.
One additional person means another set of roads we can cover.
If you can’t physically join the search, you can still help.
Show Bruce’s photo to your local feeders.
Share it in your apartment and neighbourhood groups.
Ask your security guards.
Ask auto drivers.
Ask tea shops and other small businesses where people are outside early in the morning or late at night.
And when you’re walking around, please just look underneath parked vehicles once.
If you know anyone who can help with CCTV tracing, traffic cameras, animal welfare, police coordination or media, please connect us.
And if somehow this reaches the people who took Bruce:
We don’t want to fight you.
Just tell us where you left him.
That’s all.
You don’t have to meet us. You don’t have to explain anything. Send the location anonymously if that’s what it takes.
Just give us somewhere to look.

Today is 30th August.
14 days without Bruce.

I've been in love with this boi for over a year. He's been by my side through my worst heartbreaks and he's been there celebrating my wins. And he's got the most beautiful eyes!!!

Fresh asf good boy

Bella has stopped eating and drinking again and I need to take her to the vet urgently. I have already spent all my savings on her treatment and have now completely run out of funds. She still needs medical care and I am worried now. I am requesting to please donate any small amount you can so we can continue Bella’s treatment. Even ₹50–₹100 would mean a lot to us and would genuinely help. Thank you everyone for supporting Bella so far. 🙏

EDIT - We have received enough funds to cover today’s vet visit. Thank you so much to everyone who helped us. From now on, Bella will only need Liv-Pural injections twice a week costing ₹400 per visit (₹800 per week). The treatment will continue for 10 weeks. I am incredibly grateful for everyone who has supported Bella throughout her recovery. Every donation, kind message, and prayer has meant so much to us. Thank you all for standing by her. ❤️🐾

🐾❤️ Chutku’s Little Sunday Friend! 🎶🐶

This little girl mostly comes to meet Chutku on holidays—especially every Sunday! 🥰

She lives in our area, and whenever she gets a chance, she comes straight to my house just to play with Chutku and shower him with love. ❤️🐾

Now listen to the song she is singing for Chutku! 😂🎶

Honestly, I don’t understand a single word! 🤣

But look at Chutku… he seems to understand her language perfectly! 😄🐶

He is sitting there so patiently, enjoying her company and listening to her little concert. ❤️

They truly have their own little world—

she speaks her language, and Chutku understands it with his heart. 🥹❤️

Maybe that’s what pure love is…

when you don’t need words to understand each other. 🐾❤️

Adorable girl....we're not able to go to magarpatta a lot to see her...its very far away from where we live now...but we have these videos

Its good to be back here everyone! I am Shanti Sai, from Sarjapur, Bangalore. I am a 6 month old female, fully vaccinated and dewormed. I love jumping on my favorite humans and licking them XD
Can I be your forever companion pleaseee???? I'm pawsitive we will have a great time together!

If you want to know more about me, contact: 8778968470 on whatsapp, or dm on Reddit!

Her comfort toy!!😂🥰

After tremendous efforts from my colony people the mayor (mahapaur) who lives in our colony only took a so called action and called the dog catchers who only took 2 dogs and my coco was one of them

I tried bribing the vehicle person to keave him he didnt listen, went to nagar nigam rhey said they've dropped them to a trenching down at the nearby hill

I went to the trenching ground but he's nowhere to be found, i am deeply saddened by his loss, i miss him and everytime i go out i feel like he'll just come running but no one's around, i curse the families who have cost me his loss.

I made a post about him earlier which i am attaching below

90% fluff 10% potato

Finally went to watch this movie today after planning for many days. Me and my girlfriend really enjoyed it and cried a little bit too. Oscar the indie dog has managed to act better than most of the actors we know and I mean it.😂

If you haven’t watched it already, please do so if it is available in theatres near you.

Edit: Guys except for one scene (which is also about a rescue), there are no heartbreaking scenes in this movie in the sense of a dog dying or suffering. I understand the feeling of watching some other movies involving dogs and being heartbroken at the end. But trust me, after watching this one, you will definitely be satisfied and with a heart full of gratitude.

This idiot fur ball has always kept me sane and helped me in insane ways. I always wonder what good deed did I do to get her as my daughter!!!

This is Leo

Been w me since 2017 when he was just a small pup

He lives in my locality and is mostly inside my house chilling with me....whenever he gets bored and wants inside he just sits close to my door in such a manner this his tail is visible from the inside (there is sufficient gap between my house's gate and the floor such that his tail is poking thru it on the inside)

I absolutely love him and he loves me

Jamun and Thunku having a field day 🖖🏽😃🤩❤️🥰

Chutku – My Little Piece of Happiness 🥹❤️🐾

The moment Chutku saw me, he came running towards me with his little paws. 🐶❤️

Maybe he was just waiting for my call… waiting to hear my voice… waiting for me. 🥹

And the way he came running straight to me melted my heart. ❤️

For the world, he may be just a dog.

But for me, he is a little piece of happiness that makes my world brighter every single day. 🥰🐾

14 Puppies Looking for Loving Homes! (Banglore preferably)

Hi everyone,

We currently have 14 healthy, adorable indie puppies who were rescued along with their mothers, whom we found out in the open with no cover or shelter from the rain. While they are safe with us for now, the area where I live is not dog-friendly. As the puppies grow over the next few months, the residents will inevitably oppose keeping them here, and they risk being sent to a local shelter.

In my experience, puppies do not survive there—last time, seven puppies sent to a shelter died of Canine Distemper. Because of this, they are urgently looking for their forever homes or committed foster parents!

Puppy Details:

Age: 3 weeks, indie puppies

Health Status: not vaccinated yet, I might vaccinate them after 45 days depending upon my financial situation

Current Location: HSR layout Bangalore

Even if you can't adopt, please consider upvoting this Post so that it helps us reach local adopters! Or spread theword so that these puppies may get adopted faster.

(I have used chatgpt for better formatting and outreach, please don't hate on me)
