Wigan Pug Theft: Owners Offer £5,000 Reward for Return of Stolen Puppy

The owners of a four-month-old pug puppy stolen during a burglary in Wigan have offered a £5,000 reward for its safe return.

The puppy, named Indie, was taken along with its bed, a BMW M2 car, cash and bank cards during a break-in at a property in Rowton Rise, Standish, at about 04:00 GMT on Tuesday.

Owners David, 36, and Natalie Taylor, 29, said they were "devastated" and "heartbroken". Mr Taylor, a doctor, said: "A car's a car, and a wallet's a wallet, but it's my dog. I'm absolutely devastated - this has been the worse day of my life."

He added: "We just want Indie back - she is our baby. We are so worried about her and we are desperate for her to come home. She is our world and a beautiful dog. We think it was just an opportunist crime and they just grabbed her on the way out to make some more cash."
