A woman stole an $1,800 purebred Pug puppy from a Dix Hills pet store last weekend and now Suffolk County police are asking for the public’s help to catching the dog-napper.

The canine crook entered Yipity Yap on East Jericho Turnpike, picked up the black pup, put it in her bag and stole it from the store at 1:30 p.m. Sunday, Feb. 17, police said.

Second Squad detectives released an image of the woman who was caught on surveillance camera fleeing with the dog. They also released an image of a Pug puppy similar to the one that was stolen.
