Put the following text into
English
Si sono introdotti in casa di una famiglia di Melbourne,
Australia, nella mattinata di lunedì 6 novembre, con l'intenzione di portare
via quanti più oggetti possibili, ma insieme a un iPad, un computer portatile e
dei gioielli , i ladri hanno rapito anche Sasha, una cucciola di labrador di
sole 8 settimane. La scomparsa della piccola cucciola è stata denunciata e pianta amaramente dai
suoi padroni e soprattutto dalla sua inseparabile "sorellina" umana
di 4 anni, Maia. Per questo il distretto di polizia di Victoria ha
fatto di tutto per recuperare l'animale domestico, pubblicando sui social la
sua foto e coinvolgendo i media nazionali. I ladri hanno visto le immagini della
cagnolina circolare ovunque e, presi dal rimorso, l'hanno riconsegnata alla
famiglia. I proprietari di Sasha, infatti, hanno rilasciato nei giorni scorsi
diverse interviste, spiegando che la cucciola di labrador era entrata nella
loro casa solamente una settimana prima e che le sue condizioni di salute erano
precarie, per cui il ritorno in famiglia sarebbe stato essenziale.
