SOUTH ASIAN SOUGHT COUPLE FOR DOG-NAPPING

Burnaby: A Burnaby woman selling Chihuahua puppies has had one from the litter stolen.
Burnaby Police Constable Kalinda Link says an Indo-Canadian couple came to the seller's home on Colleen Street about 7pm Thursday to view a litter of tiny pups. After telling the seller that they wanted to take a male puppy out to show a realtive in a waiting car, the couple drove off with the pup.
Link says it's distressing, because the puppy is only five weeks old, "And that puppy has just been weaned from its mom and it really shouldn't be let loose from its mother until it is eight weeks." Link says the puppy will likely die because of its young age and the fact that it hadn"t had any vaccinations.
