As you've probably guessed, #MonksCaper was an elaborate April Fool's joke. Monk is fine, and safe, and has not committed any crimes (that we know of). While we're sure you haven't been fooled for too long, we thought you might like a lighthearted diversion for the day! (And our volunteers certainly had fun photographing this caper!) And of course, should you want to donate to "Monk's Bail Fund" we'll gladly put your donation to good use for the medical care for other Streetdogs like Monk. http://www.streetdogfoundation.com/monkbail
We’ve raised enough money for Monk's bail! He’s free! The judge has let him off with a light sentence because we promised to enroll him in positive reinforcement training (his first session shown below). And any extra money raised for his bail will be used to help other Streetdogs like Monk! Thank you so much for following along on Monk's Caper and for supporting both Monk and the Streetdog Foundation!
So now we know HOW Monk landed himself in jail, but what are we to do next? We love Monk and can’t stand the thought of him rotting behind bars! We are committed to posting his bail and enrolling him in a canine criminal rehabilitation program, so that he can be the best dog ever. Will you help us in this endeavor?

While at the Rhodes security station, it was discovered that Monk was a criminal at large and was wanted on several crimes across the city! It was their only choice but to hand him over to the Memphis police department, who took over the case from there. It has been reported that Monk briefly resisted arrest, but then got too excited at the prospect of a car ride, & finally went willingly with MPD officers.

As Monk finished his last bit of graffiti, a member of the Rhodes campus security detail pulled up and was horrified at the graffiti. They took him down to the security station to assess the damage.

So now we’re all wondering what incident finally got Monk locked up in jail. Was it providing alcohol to a minor? Was it stealing a car or robbing a store? Or was it solicitation on a streetcorner?
Actually, none of the above! After his morning’s activities, Monk decided to take a break on the Rhodes College campus. But looking around at the beautiful stone exterior, Monk made a terrible decision….he decided to leave his mark on the campus!

Just when we thought it couldn’t get any worse, more victims have come forward to tell their stories of Monk's escapades! Two “ladies of the night” have just come forward and stated that Monk solicited them for their services and offered to pay them with the duck feet he stole from Hollywood Feed! We didn’t think our Monk could stoop so low, but once again footage from a neighbor’s camera has shown that Monk was indeed involved in this incident! (Once again, viewer discretion is advised: the following image may be disturbing to some viewers).

More Memphis citizens have come forward to tell us about their involvement in Monk's crime spree! Two Hollywood Feed employees report that they were the victims of an armed robbery this morning, and that the suspect is none other than Streetdog’s Monk! The employees report that Monk came into the store around 10 AM, held up a Nerf gun, and asked for all of the duck feet in the bin and several giant bones. In complete shock and fear of Nerf guns, the employees complied.
Camera footage from the store caught the below image of the scene (viewer discretion advised: may be disturbing to some viewers). Stay tuned for more details as we have them, and to donate to Monk's bail fund, please follow this link:
We’ve just heard that Monk stole a car! He was spotted driving through Midtown in a red van. Pictured below is traffic cam footage of the incident. We’re not sure how he can both reach the pedals and see over the steering wheel, so if you see the below vehicle- be careful and steer clear!

Monk's first victim has just come forward… Apparently his first crime was corrupting a minor! Little puppy Lola was just minding her own business and playing with toys when Monk came by one afternoon and offered her a drink of something much larger and stronger than she is! Little Lola giggled and hiccoughed as she gave her witness testimony, but medical experts say she will sober up just fine. She has also promised to stay away from Monk and alcohol (Seriously though, please don’t ever give alcohol to dogs!), but we still don’t know exactly what happened next on Monk's crime spree...
Monk is in jail! We don’t know the details yet, but Monk has been arrested after a crime spree across Memphis! We know that Monk is a good dog at heart, so we’d like to post his bail as soon as possible! To donate to Monk's bail fund, please follow this link: http://www.streetdogfoundation.com/monkbail
We will continue to provide updates as we have them!
