In a dog trafficking bust, An Garda Síochána, Ireland’s National Police Service, seized 32 stolen dogs worth 120,000 euros (US$141,907) in the Dublin suburb of Swords. News of the police raid was announced on Aug. 23 on the Guards’ social media.
The dogs, which included 3 chihuahuas, 4 pugs, 1 Jack Russell, and 24 dachshunds, are now being kept at the Ashdown Dog Pound as “owners of the dogs are due to be verified via their microchips where further inquiries will be carried out,” their Facebook post stated.
