Please Read!!
I am posting this video for a few reasons.
One: In an attempt to catch the people who, earlier today (11/24) tried to steal a little Frenchie puppy from our store, The Puppy Burrow, in Mt. Pocono. If anybody has any information on who this family is, please give The Puppy Burrow a call at 570-580-0405
. Thank you!!
The people involved in the attempted theft are the young boy dressed all in blue, his older brother (who is carrying a large black bag,) and the father the boy is seen leaving with at the very end of the video. The father has blue hair, is wearing a baseball cap and earrings.
Two: To warn other small businesses in the area to keep an eye out for this family. This was not something they did on a whim. They knew exactly which puppy they were going for and what pen he was in. This whole thing was planned. So if they’re out here trying to steal from us, I can only imagine they’re stealing from other businesses as well.
And Three: To say thank you to the two women who were in the Puppy Burrow at around 1:30 Sunday afternoon, who stopped this boy from leaving with the puppy and also warned my son’s girlfriend that the boy had gone behind the counter and tried to steal the puppy.
Both women left after telling Chloe about the boy, but because of their tip, she was able to keep a really close eye on this family and prevent any theft.
For anyone watching the video and wondering why Chloe did not take immediate steps to tell this family to leave, she was trying to give the young boy the benefit of the doubt and hoping it was a misunderstanding. The kid only looks about 10 years old and there was a language barrier and she thought maybe he was just being a clueless kid who had thought he was allowed behind the counter.
Anyway, I just really hope those women see this!! We would like to extend our sincere gratitude to them for stepping in and saying something. We would love if they would stop by the store so we can give them a reward!!
Everyone who follows us or has come in our store knows how much we love these dogs. Everyone who has ever come into our store knows how careful we are about who we sell our puppies to. I’m just so so grateful that little Humbug is still with us!!
