In a post shared on Facebook on Wednesday, McKenzie said: “This morning around 9am Springburn area, a guy and a woman forced their way into my house, held me at knife point and stole my 7 month old xl pup. all while my 3 year old witnessed everything.
“My 3 year old was breaking his heart shouting at them to leave his puppy alone, while the female was putting a pink collar and leash on her.
“Nylah’s a 7 month old xl bully, she’s blue with a white marking on her chest, got 2 white toenails on her back right leg. Just want my boy's puppy back where she belongs.”
