Two purebred white Bichon Frise dogs that disappeared from a Pukeatua property on Satur- day afternoon have been reported to Police as stolen. The three-year-olds are a valuable breeding pair and were last seen at their Maru Road property about 1pm. They were noticed missing at 2.45pm. The owner says the dogs don’t usually disap- pear, and neighbours also report seeing a dark green utility with a dog box fitted in the vicinity at the time of the disappearance. Anyone with any information that could lead to the recovery of the dogs should contact Te Awamutu Police (872 0100).
