A family has been receiving calls daily telling them their beloved dogs - which were stolen from their garden - are dead.
Simon and Lisa Lilley's Cocker Spaniels were taken from their home on March 5.
Birmingham Live reports that the family has continued to search for the dogs - Missy, 10, and Biscuit, five - ever since the incident.

Mr Lilley has walked around 140 miles from their home in Brewood to 10 Downing Street as he tries to get help and raise awareness.
The couple's daughter Rachel said they're not giving up hope.
Miss Lilley, 30, said: "We've had possibilities, people phoning up saying we've seen these dogs, but unfortunately they weren't ours.
"We've had lots of hoax and scam calls, we've had children phone us up and say it's about your dog, then giving us hope and then saying it's dead.
"We want people to see that side of it, we're not just dealing with the grief of knowing they're gone, but this too.
"We've kind of grown accustomed to it, we have it on a daily basis.
"That's what we want the government to understand, it's not just us not knowing where they are, we're having to put up with this.
"They start the conversation drawing you in emotionally saying it's on this road, it's in this area and then that happens.
"Most of the time they call from private numbers, but there's occasions when they're stupid enough not to call and block their number, then we report it to the police but it's normally a burner phone.
"They're that gutless they just hang up.
"This is why we're doing the walk to London as well, yes the laws around pet abduction have been changed so you can get up to seven years in jail but the amount of people convicted is less than five per cent.
"My mum still won't leave the house, she won't go in the back garden, so I'm making sure my mum is ok then driving over to where dad's stopping and driving back again.
"He will start on Wednesday morning and will be arriving at 10 Downing Street on Monday and we've been give permission to go to the police and the police are escorting us to the door.
"We want to say how much it's been affecting us as a family and about the scam calls.
"The majority are kids then you do get some people saying we've got your dogs and trying to get money out of us.
"We ask for a photo and they always say no.
"We're not giving up, we're so determined to get out girls back."
