A young boy's 'sidekick' puppy was stolen by a neighbour who had only met him mere hours before.
The boy's mum Karen Higgins, 30, knew something was not right when her 15-month-old French Bulldog, Vitani, started 'aggressively' barking in the kitchen after she left her and their new 12-week-old puppy, Stitch, in their beds.
Karen then heard dishes crashing and a candle she got for Mother's Day smash on the window ledge at approximately 10pm on May 19, Liverpool Echo reports.
