The thought that a fur baby could be taken is scary enough, but that it could be a violent incident is even more terrifying. A dog mom in Bell Gardens, California, was recently the victim of one such brutal attack, when a woman punched her in the face, then stole her Maltipoo puppy in broad daylight. Around 12:30 p.m. on Jan. 30, the dog mom was standing on a sidewalk in Bells Gardens with her 1-month-old pup.
