Ruby Gonzales reports on a slew of dogs nabbed from a pet store near Whittier My big question is this... did the dogs have those chips embedded and will it help find them?
The other question...anyone seen Cruella DeVil? Or Monty Burns?

LA MIRADA - A thief with a penchant for pricey pooches broke into a pet store early Wednesday and dognapped 22 puppies worth about $30,000.
Security video showed the man putting the teacup Yorkshire Terriers, Shih-Tzus, Chihuahuas, Maltese and Pekingese in a trash bag, according to Paul Ro, 50, owner of Puppy Love.
"I'm so afraid these puppies might die soon," Ro said. "They must be stressed out."
The puppies cost between $1,000 to $3,000 and ranged in age from 2 to 3 months.
The thief cleaned out most of the store's canine inventory but missed a 1-year-old Yorkshire terrier, a 7-month-old Maltese and a 3-month-old Pomeranian. The little female Pomeranian was in the last cage in the corner.
"I think this guy had knowledge of dogs," Ro said.
Not content with his furry haul, the dognapper also swiped a $200 pet bed on display.
The store at 14766 Beach Blvd. also sells dog food and accessories, such as handbags to carry one's furry companions, pet beds and canine clothing.
