‘My daughter is devastated, unsurprisingly,’ Mr Hood told Ross and John on 3AW.
He said his daughter was best friends with the eight-week-old pup .
‘She’d go to bed with it every night and we’d have to take her back to her bed.
‘How do you explain something like this a four-year-old?’
Although there is a possibility the pup escaped after the offenders left, police and family suspect she was stolen.
He said his daughter was best friends with the eight-week-old pup (pictured) and is upset
Laptops, jewellery and and iPad were also taken from the home Mr Hood said
‘She’s not able to be socialised with other dogs so that’s why we are worried at this stage,’ Mr Hood said.
He said she was so young so could be resold but hopes that isn’t the case.
