In a heart-wrenching case that has gripped Ludhiana residents, city police have intensified their search for a beloved Golden Retriever stolen from its owners three weeks ago. The canine, affectionately named 'Goldie', was reportedly taken from the Haibowal area under mysterious circumstances.
The investigation gained momentum after the dog's distraught owners, who had been conducting their own search for weeks, finally approached the police with their plea for help. According to police statements, the theft occurred in late November, leaving the family devastated and desperate for their pet's safe return.
Police Investigation Intensifies
Ludhiana police authorities have confirmed they are pursuing multiple leads in the case. "We have registered the complaint and are exploring all possible angles to locate the stolen dog," stated a senior police official involved in the investigation.
The police team has been conducting door-to-door inquiries in the neighborhood and reviewing available CCTV footage from the area. Authorities suspect the theft might be connected to the lucrative illegal pet trade or could be a case of someone taking the expensive breed for personal possession.
Community Response Grows
As news of the theft spreads through Ludhiana's communities, local residents and animal welfare activists have joined the search efforts. Social media platforms are buzzing with appeals and information sharing about the missing Golden Retriever.
Animal rights organizations in Punjab have emphasized the growing concern around pet thefts, particularly targeting premium dog breeds that command high prices in the black market. This incident highlights the need for greater awareness and security measures among pet owners in urban areas.
The Ludhiana police have urged anyone with information about Goldie's whereabouts to come forward, assuring confidentiality for informants. The case continues to develop as authorities work against time to reunite the beloved pet with its anxious family.
