The owner of a stolen pet said his dog may have ended up slaughtered for a meal in Moanalua Valley this weekend.

Cady was a 50-pound German Shepard, Labrador mix. He got his name from being his owner's golf buddy. Frank Manuma said Cady was stolen at Moanalua Golf Club on Sunday.

"He was gone, and the leash was gone, and all that was left was his dish plates and his water," Manuma said.

Manuma said he left Cady on a long leash with food and water. He said he never imagined something bad would happen to the pet.

"They said they saw these two people force the dog into the car and took my animal away," Manuma said.

Two men were brought back to the golf course for questioning.

"He killed the dog because he had to feed his family. What I heard about the abduction is what I just said, they abducted him, and took him, and, and they slaughtered him," Manuma said.

Cady's dog house sits empty. Manuma said he and his wife are reeling over what happened.

"It hurt us a lot, my wife and I. She wasn't here when it happened. She just flew in last night. I had to break the news to her. Needless to say we lost a lot of rest time over this," Manuma said.

Two golf course employees were arrested for second-degree theft. The golf course manager said both employees have been fired, and that Moanalua Golf Club is cooperating with police.
