Neighbor accused of dognapping Delaware neighbor's pet, leaving dog in New Jersey

A disgruntled neighbor is accused of dognapping a neighbor's therapy dog from Delaware and leaving him on the side of a New Jersey roadway. Cynthia Yalisove, 63, was arrested on Friday at her Hockessin home off of Horseshoe Hill Drive.

Yalisove's house is directly behind the home of Cindy Aman who owns that dog - named Rip - with her partner and their daughter, who relies on Rip as a therapy dog. On April 5, Rip went missing from his home on Dogwood Drive. Aman blanketed social media with his picture and locations where he was last seen. The next day, Good Samaritans from Pennsville, New Jersey notified Aman that they had found Rip, and he was safe and healthy.

Those same people told police that they saw someone in a black Chevy SUV with Delaware plates dump the dog on the side of a road in Pennsville and drive off.

That information led police to Yalisove, and authorities gathered more evidence before an arrest warrant was issued. Police in Delaware charged Yalisove with felony theft, and New Jersey authorities added animal cruelty charges.

He's wandered away a couple times in the last few years, and each time a good Samaritan neighbor called to inform us that he was visiting (luckily he's cute and friendly--the dog, not the neighbor). Each time we thanked out lucky stars, and I finally ponied up for a fence the dog (who I should've named Houdini) couldn't beat.
