D.      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.
