UPDATE 9.50AM, AUGUST 11: A BOXER puppy who went missing on from his family home in Doncaster on Saturday has been found.
Police said they had been notified of Leeroy’s whereabouts late yesterday and he had been reunited with the family.
There were no suspicious circumstances regarding Leeroy’s disappearance, police said.
ORIGINAL APPEAL
AUGUST 10, 11.30AM: A DONCASTER family is distraught after their six-month-old Boxer puppy was stolen from their Rose St front yard.
Sophie Skalkos said her daughter Elizabeth, 13, was devastated after family pet Leeroy was taken while she was home on Saturday afternoon.
“She was upstairs having a shower, she heard some squealing and some barking and she heard our gates open,” Ms Skalkos said.
“By the time she made it downstairs to the front of our house she said the gates had been flown open, someone was driving away in a really big hurry and the dog was gone.
“She was distraught, by the time I got back she was on the floor inside just wailing, she was just a mess.”
Ms Skalkos said the entire family, including two other dogs, were heartbroken.
“The other two dogs are distressed, my children are distressed, we’re all distressed,” she said.
“You don’t consider anyone is going to break into your house and take part of your family.”
The tan puppy, with a white chest and paws, is worth at least $1000.
Ms Skalkos said the dog’s docked tail made it very distinctive.
“You can’t get Boxers with docked tails anymore,” she said.
“There’s a substantial reward for anyone who finds the dog, no questions asked.”
