STOLEN 18 week old Italian Spinone puppy
I have two Italian Spinone totally soulful dogs who love trust from humans. A friend has had her 18 week old stolen by two very brazen thieves, the story is below, if anyone could share the link on Facebook or anywhere, the poor family are desperate to get
this little girl back she will be terrified
A witness come forward who has confirmed she witnessed 2 smartly dressed men, in their 40's, possibly Mediterranean, in a black Mercedes 4x4, pick her up at approx 11:40am on Monday 19/10/15 from near the Acorn Pub, Needwood.
She is now a stolen dog. White with dark brown ears and brown spot on top of tail was wearing a purple nylon collar. Could be mistaken for Springer spaniel or Labradoodle.

From the owner:
On Monday of this week two of our dogs managed to break loose from our garden, which normally is a Fort Knox of dog security. This was at 11.30am and my wife called me immediately and having rushed back from work we started a long search for our beloved
pets, a border terrier called Barnie and an Italian Spinone called Bhindi. Barnie is 5 years old and Bhindi is 5 months old.
Before I go further Italian Spinone's are quite unique, there are only a few breeders in the UK and they are blood hounds of decent, growing to be large dogs who need plenty of walks, grooming and TLC.
Having spent days searching and contacting all the authorities, with a huge amount of support from locals and dog lovers from all over the country, we found out late last night at 10.30pm, that she had been stolen.
A very kind lady called us to inform us that her husband, having been away on business, had popped into his local, seen the Missing Dog poster and told his wife on his return home. She kindly called us to say that she had stopped on Monday at virtually 11.30am
and witnessed the dogs breaking out from the house and walking down the road. She was with her sister and was picking the dogs up to take them to the nearby farm to endeavour to return the dogs, when a black Mercedes 4x4, brand new from the number plate, stopped
and informed the lady that the two men knew the owners and would return them straight away.
The two men are Mediterranean in appearance, well dressed, adorned with jewellery, they spoke well and appeared to the ladies as quite genuine.
Later that day, our Border Terrier, Barnie was found across the road, some 7 hours later. He had lost his collar and had somehow managed to escape from his captures, a plucky sole, clever & brave little chap.
However, the beautiful little pup remains missing, she will be absolutely petrified, although they are a clever working dog, they require human trust in bucket loads and sadly this has now been shattered by avaricious parties.
We have of course informed all the authorities and engaged private support from a great pet detective agency, posted on Facebook and all the missing dog sites.
Hopefully someone will recognise the puppy, the thieves, their car and if they are offered Bhindi they will know that she is a cherished pet and has a lovely home and she is missed dreadfully by our family.
If we can in someway appeal to the thieves to return her or give her up unharmed, we would be very grateful.
Anyway thanks for all your help and we would forward to hearing from anyone who can help with bring her home
Please post and share this with as many people as possible, the more that know what she looks like the better and the sooner she can come home.
Many thanks
