The search is on for whoever stole a rather valuable dog from a Delaware County pet store. It’s the third dog in about a year to be plucked from We Love Pets on Baltimore Pike in Springfield.
Springfield township police say the weekend theft of a $1,400 Chihuahua is not related to last Jaunary’s theft of a black pug and a maltipom.
Lt. William Clark says two white men walked into the store and left quickly: "The clerk looked and found that a Chihuahua was missing from the cage in the store. They believe that the two actors left in a silver Ford with an unknown Pennsylvania registration."
The owner of the store has not returned calls seeking comment about the thefts.

SPRINGFIELD — A dognapper made off with $1,400 Chihuahua from the We Love Pets Store in the Stoney Creek Shopping Center Saturday. The dognapping is the second this year at the pet store, located in the 400 block of Baltimore Pike.
According to police a white man, in his early 20s walked into the pet store around 11:37 a.m. and stood next to a display cage. He scooped up the light-gray Chihuahua, ran out of the store and jumped into a silver pickup truck operated by another man. The dog napping duo fled from the parking lot in an unknown direction.
Both suspects are in their early 20’s and were wearing dark hoodies. In January, a pair walked out of the same pet shop with two puppies, a pug and a Maltipom, valued at $1,000 each.
Anyone who has information about the incident is urged to contact Detective James Devaney at 610-544-1100.

Delco Pet Store Gets Back Pricey Stolen Pup
by KYW's David Madden
A primo priced pup purloined from a Delaware County pet shop last week is back in its cage - none the worse for the experience - but the thief is still being sought.
The $1400 Chihuahua was plucked from a cage at We Love Pets on Baltimore Pike in Springfield on the 19th. Then, Springfield police lt. William Clark says, the store got a gift on the day after Christmas:
“The pet store received a phone call from a female who said that the dog is by their back door in a box. The employees went out and found the dog. The dog appeared to be in good shape and not abused.”
Cops have a surveillance photo of a suspect and are trying to track him down. The store owner isn’t talking. Then again, he’s had 3 high-priced pooches stolen this year and two of them were not recovered, nor has anyone been charged.
