Officers believe the graffiti was done sometime in the last week, though an exact time isn’t known. The offensive message was written in permanent marker and “targets people of colour,” police said.
CALGARY The page is called ‘Leeza Come Home’ and has 1,800 members. People are sending words of encouragement from all over North America, while others closer to home are out searching for the dog every day. It’s been 21 days since year and a half old Leeza went missing from the Beddington Golf Park on Harvest Hills Boulevard in north Calgary but Rob Stevens and his wife Melissa Hubbard-Stevens aren’t giving up hope that she will be found. “Leeza is a Saint Bernard, Great Pyrenees, Akita cross and 52 kilograms and in one bounce she can move eight feet,” said Hubbard-Stevens. “So if she wanted to travel she could cover a lot of distance in three weeks.”
