The owners of a one-year-old puppy that was stolen from a car park in Pudsey have launched a desperate appeal to find him.

Dachshund Stanley was stolen on Monday, September 7 from his owner's van, which was parked outside of Wickes, in Pudsey Road.

Jackie Kendall, the mother of Stanley's owner Will, said that Will's van window was smashed by the thieves at about 4.20pm.

She believes the thieves targeted the van specifically to take Stanley as Will's wallet was left.

She said: "His van window was smashed and his beloved sausage dog was stolen.

"The thief left behind his wallet which was in plain view in the van, so this proves that it was the dog they had targeted."

Posters are being put up across Leeds in an attempt to locate Stanley.

An appeal for information on Facebook has been shared more than 10,000 times.

Stanley is described as a chocolate coloured, smooth/short haired dachshund.

He is a standard sized Dachshund not a mini.

He is one-years-old, castrated and has been microchipped.

He is described as a "very quiet, docile, friendly little man who will go to anyone".

The owner also said that he does not walk obediently on a lead, will pace and not settle in strange surroundings and bark persistently if caged.
