On Thursday, Xena, a  Valenchino Chihuahua, was stolen from her home in East Yorkshire, Britain along with her mother, Grandmother, and two other dogs. Xena had recently won the tittle of Best Chihuahua at the annual Crufts dog show in March. The thieves must have known these dogs were valuable because they broke into the home and took all five of the dogs. London Police are now looking for information regarding the "dog-napping." 

I think this is sad. If someone stole my dog I would be very upset and worried. I think our pets become part of the family. I also think this would be a large financial blow to the owners. The dogs were very valuable and I would guess they made a decent amount of money when they won contests like that. 

Do you think the thieves did this for money? What do you think they will do with the dogs? How would you react if your pet/pets were stolen?

  • Good job!

  • I do think they did this for money, but if they did try to sell the dogs or take them to shows it would be hard to not be noticed.

  • Im guessing that they stole the dogs for money. I dont know why else they would steal some dogs.

  • Of course they did it for money that's why they did it because they knew they had money. I think they will take care of the dogs until they get the money they want. I would be sad if my dog was stolen.

  • i think the did it for money and sold them to get moeny

  • I think they did it for money.  They will probably try to sell them.  Hopefully the dogs are not in danger.  Also, I hope the police find them and return them to their owners. 

    • I hope they return them to the owners too. I think the dogs would be traumatized from this.

  • I definitely think they did this for money, whether they are going to ransom the dogs from the rich owners or just enter the dogs in more contests. I hope they find the people, that's so mean to steal someone who is practically part of the family.

    • My thoughts exactly. Most pets are part of the family to people. 

  • yes i do think they did it for money and they could either sell them or enter into shows and i would be devastated if my dog was stolen!
