New figures have revealed the five dog breeds most likely to be stolen in Liverpool.
There are a shocking number of dog stolen from homes, parks and gardens every year. The number of dogs stolen in Merseyside last year was 30% higher than the figure from 2020, according to new figures obtained by The ECHO from Merseyside Police.
The ECHO used the Freedom of Information Act to find out how many stolen dogs were reported to Merseyside Police over the last five years and what breeds were taken. Between January 2017 and December 2021 police recorded 215 dogs were stolen in Merseyside.
