Alfie dog

INTERNAL - LIVING ROOM

A policeman is talking to a woman.

Policeman: When did you last see your dog?

Woman: I let him out straight after he had his food, as I always do, it was about twenty past seven just before Coronation Street started.

Policeman: And that was on the 3rd of September?

Woman: Yes, 6 days ago.

Policeman: And you have not seen him since?

Woman: I called him and called him, but he didn't come, usually I only have to call him once, and he comes running in.

Policeman: We have been receiving several reports of dogs going missing in this area it may be connected. Have you noticed any suspicious activity in your neighborhood lately?

Woman: Well, there has been a man walking past the garden lately and as soon as he saw Alfie he got excited, he said that he loves border terriers and has opened a shop in the high street. I looked out the window once and he was giving Alfie a doggie biscuit, I didn't think nothing of it, I thought he was a nice chap.

Policeman: Ah I see, we have had our suspicions lately of a new shop that has just opened in town. The Dog-Grooming parlor.

Woman: You think he has been grooming Alfie?

Policeman: it is a possibility.

First impressions are that it is too long for the punchline at the end.
Possibly something of the length below might work better.
Woman: My dogs been missing for six days
Policeman:Have you seen this man(shows her a picture)
Woman Yes he keeps stopping to stroke her and give her doggy treats.
Policeman: Im afraid this is serious ma'am we believe this man was grooming your dog.
Woman Oh no my poor Alfie
