Dognapping In Limerick

Two valuable Chihuahuas have been stolen from a house in Ballingarry Co. Limerick. The stolen dogs require daily medication otherwise they will die. This incident follows the theft of 14 Chihuahuas at the start of November in Kilmallock. The 2 dogs were stolen last Friday. That particular type of dog is very popular amongst young girls and is even seen "as the latest fashion accessory". From reading various online discussions, many people feel that the theft of the dogs is the work of the Traveller community, but of course there is no evidence to back these claims, and they could be completely wrong. Gardai at Newcastle West Garda Station have asked anybody with information to come forward.
