6 High-Dollar Pups Stolen from Pet Shop

“What are they eating? Where are they sleeping?”

Someone stole six puppies from DC Pup, a pet store in Manassas, VA.

The dogs were taken from their cages after the culprits apparently broke a window to get in, WJLA-TV reports.

The puppies, including a Pomeranian and a Maltese, were nine to 12 weeks old. NBC4 reports that the dogs are worth $5,800.

Shania Sample and Roger Kummer have owned the store for only a few months. They’d been out for dinner and a movie on a Sunday afternoon and came back to find that the pups were gone.

NBC4 quoted Sample saying that it’s not the monetary value of the dogs that she’s concerned about.

“What scares me the most is what are they eating? Where are they sleeping?” she said.
