“Those people need to be caught and punished,” Marta Swinarska told the Cyprus Mail.

The German Shepherd puppy named Ruger, was apparently snatched between 9 and 10 am from Swinarska’s home in the area of Omonia—Papas supermarket area.

Ruger has a microchip and reacts when he hears his name.

He had a blue collar and golden name tag when he was stolen.

If anyone has any information about Ruger, please call Marta on 96423977 or 99091071 or Craig on 9779267
