Missing Dog: Have You Seen Arwyn?

Residents across Prince George’s County, including Bowie, are sharing a photo of a dog stolen from a home during a burglary.

The Prince George’s County Police Department says 10-year-old Arwyn, a boxer, was swiped from a home in Greenbelt on Wednesday. The missing pet’s photo has been shared more than 600 times from the department’s Facebook page.

Police say someone broke into the apartment in the 7000 block of Hanover Parkway between 10:45 a.m. and 2:45 p.m. Wednesday. The thief also took a diamond ring, a laptop and a Kindle Fire.

Readers were outraged by the theft. Jennifer Cook Koenig wrote: “Breaks my heart Take the stuff, leave pets, children and other humans out of it!! Hope he is found safely and returned quickly to his family and home.”

And Pamela Harris-Dutrow added, “They could keep all my stuff no questions just bring me back my dog.”

Authorities are asking residents to share Arwyn’s picture. If you have any information on who is responsible for taking her, call either 301-390-2160 or Crime Solvers at 1-866-411-TIPS.
