What kind of sick twisted freak...
Would steal a puppy.  Violet is gone.  She didn't go under the fence, could't go over it, gate was shut. My older dog Ty sitting in the yard all alone. His wife stolen.

Someone that can't afford one as a Christmas gift for their kid that wants one. I hope that's what happened to her.

Having anything visible from a road, where humans can see stuff, isn't good.
Sorry your pup went missing... I "would" ask everyone up and down the road, and make up some flyers... post em everywhere it's legal...never can tell, maybe someone will see it and recognize it... put a reward on it... or, don't. Stranger things have happened!

Oh that just stinks! Got a photo? Plaster your neighborhood with flyers and offer a reward. Check with all the shelters.

My vet mentioned that she had a whole pack of dogs around here house which is surrounded by state forest land but for each of the last 3 years, only her purebred dogs have disappeared and always during the second week of deer season. The dogs were on her own property when they disappeared too. This year, she brought her purebred dogs to the clinic with her each day to protect them hopefully. I haven't spoken with her to see if she'd lost any of the others.
Someone dumped a purebred Great Pyrenees and she showed up at our house during deer season 2 years ago. She was only about 3 months old and while not emaciated, she needed extra feed to catch up to the size/weight she should have been. I found it interesting that our adult dogs allowed her to enter not only the barn but the goat pens. She took quite a while to trust us. I'm the one who feeds her, pets and loves on her every day and sometimes she still gives me that scared look.
Hope your pup shows up safe and sound.

I heard somewhere that people will steal a dog, then wait until the owners advertise a reward and then "return" it to collect the reward.
I hope the puppy is found safe and sound.

In my country I'd be thinking a eagle or hawk.

My Boston Terrier was stolen right out of my front yard while I was in the house. I plastered flyers on every front door offered a reward and everyone said they hadn't seen her. I went back and personally handed everyone on my street a flyer and told them about her, not a whole lot of Bostons living in the country! My neighbor said "Nope" hadn't seen her for some reason I said "her name is Becky" and ---- it if that dog didn't come running from the woman's bedroom! Lady sat there and said I didn't know what a boston looked like ( I was holding a picture of her on my hand!) I got my baby back and I sure hope you do too! Good luck and big huggs

My Sis had a pup stolen from her front yard. She knocked on a hundred doors until she found someone who said they'd seen a neighbor with the same sort of puppy. Sis called the police, and had her doggie home, but it took several days, and she was RELENTLESS.

It's not just dogs. Our neighbor Jane had a cat that always threw one white kitten. Another neighbor, Gloria, had gotten one of the kittens but it ran away as an adult. Meanwhile, we got the queen's last white kitten and loved him to pieces. One day he disappeared and like the other posters, I went around the neighborhood looking for Fruitcake. Jane told me Gloria had brought a white cat to her house asking if Jane thought it was my cat. Fruitcake was a big fluffy cat but according to Jane, the cat Gloria brought to her was all slicked down. The kicker was that Gloria had to drive right past my house, where she "found" Fruitcake, to reach Jane's house. If she suspected it was my cat, why not stop and ask me rather than go to Jane who hadn't seen Fruitcake since he was about 6 weeks old. When I called Gloria, she was really evasive and finally said that Fruitcake had run away from them as well when the door was open. Gloria's house was about 3 miles south of ours so I was sure Fruitcake would encounter a coyote or someone would shoot him before he could get home.
Well, it was spring and I was hovering over my pregnant does. During the wee hours a week or so later, I went to check on them and heard a cat meowing. I called the cat's name and got an immediate meow. It was good old Fruitcake. I thought it was news worthy of waking up my husband. He was glad the cat was home but thought I could have waited until morning to tell him about it.

Aww man thats awful
I'm paranoid about my dogs......Every dog I've ever purchased had been well bred, registered & pricey. We had someone try to take my Chinese Crested right out of my front yard in broad daylight!!
Lucky for me, & my crested, they didn't notice the big black Great Dane snoozing on the porch until he was almost on them  I supervise all outside time, & if I can't at least keep an eye on them through the kitchen window, they come inside....Big dogs included. Sad that even out here in the boonies I can't be confident that some heartless jerk won't mess with or try to steal my dogs....
I'm so sorry your pup is gone..........I hope you find her
