A family from Vasai has been left heartbroken after the dognapping of their year-old pet, Happy. The family submitted a complaint with the Waliv police on Saturday. Ravi Dhotre lives in Vasai East's Fatherwadi area where he also owns a petrol pump, 'Om Sai'. The family recently travelled to their village and left Happy in the care of the staff at the petrol pump.

When the family returned on Friday, they were met with the news that the dog was stolen by two bike-borne men. CCTV footage revealed that two bike-borne men arrived at the petrol pump around 10.30 pm on Friday. The pillion rider, taking advantage of the staff being occupied with work, picked up the dog and fled with Happy. "Happy was like a family member. My 10-year-old son, Pushkar, loved him very much. He hasn't eaten properly since we returned and got to know about Happy. He says that he will not eat until Happy returns," Dhotre said.
