Money seems to be the motive behind a rise in dognappings.
The American Kennel Club says dog thefts are up 32 percent nationwide this year.
The American Kennel Club says it has a record of 224 pets reported stolen in 2011. That’s compared to 150 dogs reported stolen in the same time period last year. Owners reported pets taken from houses, cars, pet stores and even from a child's arms.
Officials say many dogs end up sold, given as gifts and sometimes held for ransom.
