Seven puppies have been stolen by machete-wielding thugs and are in danger of death if they are not reunited with their mother according to the Police.
The litter of puppies was snatched at about 09:30 BST on Saturday when two men followed a man into a flat in north Manchester.
They were shoved into carrier bags and when their mother tried to defend them she was slashed in the face, Greater Manchester Police said. A man at the address in Fernclough Road, Harpurhey, was also attacked. olice said the man sustained “defensive wounds” to his hands and arms.
Det Con Nick Kershaw of Greater Manchester Police described the robbery as “incredibly callous” and said the offenders “showed absolutely no regard for the safety of anyone, human or animal”.

He said:
“The dogs are only five weeks old and without their mother, they likely won’t survive very long so it is important that anybody with information that can assist, please contact police as a matter of urgency.
Please help us return these puppies and reunite them with their very sad mother, Zena, who has been left devastated.”
Police said the thieves were both black and skinny and wore dark clothing with their hoods up. Both men were thought to be in their 20s. They also stole cash and mobile phones as well as other items during the terrifying raid.
One of the suspects is said to be around 6ft 3in and was wearing a grey and black camouflage face covering while the other is slightly shorter and wore a plain black face covering, police said.
If you have any information you are encouraged to dial 101 and report it to the Police.
