An Edinburgh woman was left ‘shaking and trembling’ after coming home from Asda to find her puppy had been stolen.
Hayley Jempson claims her nine-week-old Olde English Bulldog was taken from her home on Craigmillar Castle Road at around 11pm on Sunday, August 22.
The local had left her puppy at home with her other dog Charlii so that she could pick up shopping from Asda and when she returned her front door was badly damaged and had been opened.

Nothing else was stolen from her property other than puppy Cooper who had been sleeping in his cage.
Her other dog Charlii was not stolen and was left ‘quivering’ and ‘pining’ for the puppy after the ordeal.
Owner Hayley said that Cooper is still on a ‘special diet’ because he’s so young and hasn’t had his second set of jags yet.
She said: “They took nothing else of value or clothing just the dog.
“They also left my Charlii quivering, I can’t believe this has happened, evil sick twisted folk around!!
“Please help bring him home.
“They know nothing about him he’s 9 weeks never been on grass still has a special food routine he needs different milk he’s only 9 weeks old he’s got special dietary requirements as he’s still so young and he’s not had second jags yet as too young he’s due them this week.
“Charlii was with cooper he was in his cage sleeping they’ve taken him from my bedroom in his cage sleeping.
“I left them to go to Asda come home he’s gone.”
Anyone who spots Cooper is being encouraged to contact the police on 101.
A Police Scotland spokesperson said: "We received a report that a dog has been stolen and enquiries are ongoing."
