A pair returned from their honeymoon final week and realized their canine had simply been stolen from their canine sitter at gunpoint.
Duke was taken after 9 p.m. Friday on Livingston Road close to Old St. John’s Road in Oxon Hill, Maryland.
“We’d just landed when we got the news,” his proprietor Alexa stated.
“It’d been a great trip, too,” James stated. “We weren’t very excited to come back and leave that amazing time, except for the fact that we wanted to see Duke.”
There was one other canine current when Duke was stolen — a German shepherd service canine who wouldn’t let the robbers get too shut — however they have been in a position to take Duke on account of his nature.
“He’s not aggressive; he just wants to be around the people he likes,” James stated. “So, he follows us everywhere.”
“He’s always under foot,” Alexa stated.
Prince George’s County police are investigating the theft.
There’s a $2,000 reward for Duke’s return, and his house owners say no questions requested. They simply need him home.
“He’s the most important thing in our lives besides each other,” James stated.
