Dog owner seeks leads in puppy theft
Maria Redshaw is devastated after losing one of her shih tzu puppies to a thief.
The Blockhouse Bay resident was selling the puppy for $950 when it was taken by a man posing as a potential buyer.
The man answered a newspaper advert and said he wanted to buy the eight-week-old dog as a Valentine's Day gift.
Mrs Redshaw gave him the puppy to hold while they discussed its special nutrition needs.
"He was pleasant," she says. "He looked very clean and respectable." MORE>>
Shih tzu females sell for around $1650 in pet shops. Well, that's a lot of money for a dog!! ... you'd certainly make sure it had a microchip!!
Acting community relations police sergeant Brendan Stewart says similar kinds of thefts happen occasionally.
But this is the first he's heard of in a while.
Information, Avondale police, phone: 820-5700.
