SMITH COUNTY — The Smith County Sheriff’s Office is investigating two reports of dogs stolen from their homes over the weekend. According to the sheriff’s office and our news partner KETK, on Saturday, they were notified that a Blue Merle Australian Shepherd named “Pickles” was stolen from its owners’ backyard on FM 850.
Later that day, the sheriff’s office received an additional report that a 14-year-old Miniature Australian Shepherd named “Molly” had been stolen from her owner’s residence on County Road 43.
The sheriff’s office does not believe there is any connection between the two thefts at this time, as they occurred on opposite sides of Smith County. Anyone with information about the whereabouts of either of these two dogs, please call the Smith County Sheriff’s Office at (903) 566-6600.
