Losing a beloved pet can put owners through the most devastating emotional turmoil imaginable.
Hertfordshire Constabulary have been investigating the theft and says it would like nothing more than to reunite Molly with Mr McCarthy. PC Kieran Llewellyn says Mr McCarthy is “understandably still incredibly upset” with Molly having been missing for nearly two months now. He said: “Despite appeals in both the local and national media, we are yet to trace Molly. As we approach the two-month anniversary of her disappearance, we are still investigating this and still want to hear from anyone who thinks they may be able to assist with our enquiries. “Molly is a short-haired Chihuahua, and a creamy blue fawn colour. She was not wearing a collar at the time of her disappearance, but she is micro-chipped.
Prime Minister Boris Johnson has given his backing to a pet theft taskforce to tackle anyone who is “malicious” enough to steal a dog. There has been a spike of dog thefts in recent months across the nation, as Hertfordshire Constabulary have recovered 27 stolen dogs this year and three arrests. Despite being a nationwide problem - with a 19 per cent increase of stolen dogs in Britain compared to last year - there have been several worrying thefts near Watford. Mr Johnson said that while some people may think a surge in dog thefts during the pandemic as just a “second order” offence, it actually can cause “huge pain and grief to the victims”.
