Two adorable dogs were stolen from their masters in separate incidents — with one still missing, leaving his 7-year-old owner heartbroken for Christmas.
Marley (pictured), little Mia Bendrat’s Cavalier King Charles spaniel, was stolen from in front of a Washington Heights grocery store yesterday morning.
“He’s the Grinch that stole Christmas,” Mia said of the coldhearted thief who swiped Marley, which was tied to a pole in front of La Rosa Fine Foods on Broadway.
“When my mom told me the dog was lost, I started to cry. He’s my only dog,” she said of the pet she got for Christmas two years ago from her grandmother.
Mia, and her mother, Angie Estrade, put up 150 fliers around their neighborhood in hopes of finding Marley.
“Who would do this on Christmas Eve?” Estrada fumed.
In an another puppy pilfering, thieves in a Williamsburg, Brooklyn, home invasion stole a 6-month-old Yorkshire terrier-Maltese, stuffed her in a bag and tossed it down a trash chute, sources said.
The dog was later rescued after the super heard her barking.
“Getting the dog back was a Christmas gift,’’ said her relieved owner, who asked that his name not be printed.
The 22-year-old man said two masked men, armed with pistols and a hammer, knocked on his door and forced their way into his home at around 3:10 a.m. Dec. 15.
Jennett Leandre, 23, was arrested and charged with assault, robbery, burglary and menacing.
