A young pitbull was stolen during a home burglary today in Lakewood, Dsgt. Greg Staffordsmith confirms to TLS. At approximately 11:00 a.m. today, Officer Michael Zwick responded to an East County Line Road home to investigate a reported burglary.
The resident reported that while taking her children to school a few hours earlier, an unknown person entered her home through the back door.
“Once inside, the suspect took several bottles of beer, a phone and the family’s 7 month old pitbull named “Finely”, Staffordsmith says.
Finely is described as being white and brown in color. No photo is currently available.
Anyone with information is asked to contact Dsgt. Greg Staffordsmith at 732-363-0200 ext. 5318. [TLS. File photo]
They should have had a watchdog.
No, wait.
Huh?
A family with school aged children is better off without such a pet.
That is most certainly not a pitbull – thats either an american bulldog or an english bulldog – and to the judgmental person saying they are better off without this pet with school aged children you are obviously uneducated do some research before making such idiotic comments both pitbulls and american bulldogs are fabulous pets with children – its bad owners that give pits their bad rep not the dog
Thanks for the education, Shannon. As far as my education goes, pit bulls are responsible for many unprovoked attacks on small children…it is in their nature. As a mother I would probably feel more comfortable with a poodle or terrier which are known to be significantly less violent. Btw, the article clearly states that the picture is not of the missing dog.
I’ll give you one guess why the pit bull was stolen and I guarantee it’s not because whoever wanted a new family pet!
hey #4 did you know that pit bulls are part of the terrier family??? (I believe american straffordshire terrier is the correct name pit bull is a lot easier to say.) Not sure if you did any research or just stating what you see on tv/media, but “pit bulls” were actually used by nanines in the late 1800’s. Yes nanies that were watching groups of children. Cant let a few bad apples spoil the bunch. Just dont hear enough good stories about the breed. All negative attention.
That isn’t the picture of the dog obviously. It’s my friends puppy and is the sweetest thing ever. If anyone has any information on this please contact me. [email protected]
If pit bulls weren’t attacking children, the “media” wouldn’t have a lot to say about them. Statistically, pit bulls are responsible for more human deaths than any other breed. 2 weeks ago a close family member was attacked by 2 loose pit bulls. That is all the education I need to never have one as a pet.
