A dog walker and several dog owners have been victimized by a theft that took mere minutes. by Matthew Claxton mclaxton@langleyadvance.com
A heartless thief stole six dogs out of a parked vehicle Tuesday while it was parked at the off leash dog park in Brookswood. The Langley RCMP say a dog walker had taken the half dozen dogs to the off leash dog park near the 4400 block of 206th Street. The dog walker, and the dogs, are apparently from the Delta area. After the dogs had been given some exercise in the park, the dog walker put her charges into the back of her pickup truck, which had a canopy, and went to use the washroom. She returned about 10 minutes later, to find the canopy unlatched and all six dogs missing. She searched the area for hours but wasn’t able to find any of the dogs, said Cpl. Holly Marks,
