'Dog-Napping' Victim Offers $5-Thousand Reward

Imagine someone breaks into your home, but ignores all your expensive stuff and instead takes what might be irreplaceable: Your beloved dogs.

Five-thousand dollars cash is being offered to anyone who can return a pair of dogs taken during a break-in at a Germantown home.

Maryann Nash says the burglar got into her Germantown home Tuesday afternoon. Once inside the thief ignored the computer, the TV, and the digital and video cameras. Instead they went for the family's prize possessions; two dogs a male black pug named "Jet Li" and a female Boston terrier named "Shinju".

Nash has a video showing her with Shinju at a local PetSmart, where Nash used to teach obedience classes. In fact Shinju performs in obedience competitions but the evidence of a trail of dog waste left throughout the house indicates to Nash her dogs were anything but obedient, and instead they were probably petrified of the intruder.

Jet Li and Shinju were bought to replace a pair of dogs that a friend of Nash's was caring for and lost in a park two years ago. Nash says both of the dogs have small microchips imbedded under their skin for electronic identification.
