On 2/19/2015 Alley Catvocate said: Cakers ,it is... It's been all over the news and I am so sad for the families...ESPECIALLY since it has been so cold here..I am curious as to why anyone would leave the van running with six dogs inside. Haven't heard anything but waiting for explanation...

It almost sounds like they wanted the dogs and not the van. How cruel.

It was running because they were at a stoplight. The gunmen approached the car and ordered the driver out.

Brii, I see the confusion as the stories are reported online but here is the actual story

http://7online.com/news/thieves-steal-van-and-its-canine-cargo/524744/

The daily Mail and a few other sources reported that there are seven dogs and the guy who was driving with hijacked that is not accurate.

Here is updated...

http://abc7.com/news/doggy-daycare-van-stolen-at-gunpoint-with-6-dogs-inside/524732/

Police say the van, which was left running, was near Ogden and Grand. Police say the driver was not in the van at the time. The two gunmen brushed off another man who tried to stop them and stole the van at gunpoint. (from a more recent article not this one)

How sad. If money is the motive, much could those dogs be worth on a black market?

tansy,

from everything I have read and " heard", they may not have even known the dogs were there..Just saw a running car and opportunity...

The dogs were in their cages in the back..Getting ready to go home..
