With dog thefts on the increase, Cambridgeshire Police have created a video on how pet owners can keep their pooches safe.
“Dogs are part of the family and their theft will be extremely distressing,” said police, “so we went to the Wood Green Animal Charity to create this video.
“Please take take some time to watch and pick up some useful advice (also the dogs featured are very cute).”
Report missing or stolen dogs here or by calling 101 and to your local dog warden. Notify your microchip database provider also.
