PuggaWuggles Posted January 27, 2010 Share Posted January 27, 2010 Precious pup home after dogged hunt- http://www.news.com.au/couriermail/story/0...87-3102,00.html WHEN an alleged thief scooped up the tiny white ball of fluff, Ellen Moloney thought she would not see the precious pomeranian again. The nine-week-old puppy became the subject of a police hunt after going missing from Keperra Petworks on January 19. Yesterday, covered in fleas and a little worse for wear, the puppy was returned. Police found her on Tuesday at a Wynnum home after tracing a car with stolen plates to the address. Ms Moloney said she had sleepless nights worrying about the dog. "We love the puppies so much and we always try to make sure they are going to good homes," she said. With new name Snowflake, the puppy was rushed off to the vet for a check-up yesterday. Ms Moloney said the dog could be up for sale again after the vet check, but she suspected a Petworks staff member might take her home. "She's certainly become a bit of a star," she said. Police have charged a man with stealing and a woman with receiving stolen property. The two will appear in court on February 22. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BittyMooPeeb Posted January 29, 2010 Share Posted January 29, 2010 Arggh. After the stories of DOLers trying to reclaim stolen dogs and the lack of support they received from the police, I am agog at the Police service's change of heart when it is a pet shop, rather than a grieving owner, involved Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fit for a King Posted January 29, 2010 Share Posted January 29, 2010 I suspect Ms Moloney's sleepless nights had more to do with lost revenue than the loss of the pup per se..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teekay Posted January 29, 2010 Share Posted January 29, 2010 I suspect Ms Moloney's sleepless nights had more to do with lost revenue than the loss of the pup per se..... Yep, I'm afraid I have to agree with you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poochmad Posted January 29, 2010 Share Posted January 29, 2010 Oh my goodness! I have to read these stories a lot more carefully - I completely missed the part about the pup being from a pet shop! In that case, I agree with all of you - it seems she was more concerned about losing money than the welfare of the pup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
