With Wales and the world in lockdown and isolation over the past year, many felt it was the perfect time to buy or adopt a dog. With everyone spending more time at home, and the impact of loneliness rising, sales of puppies rocketed and so did the prices, particularly for a pedigree pooch.

For pandemic pups this came with another, more menacing cost. As the demand for dogs soared, so did dog thefts. From opportune snatchings of family dogs to complex organised criminals seeking out and smuggling the most prized pets, canine crime is on the rise.

Dog lover and former Love Islander Connagh Howard speaks to the Welsh 'dog detectives', a network of volunteers, charities and dog specialists who help reunite missing pets with their owners.
