John Schneider Appeals To Public For Help Finding Stolen Christmas Puppies

Former “Smallville” actor John Schneider has made a public appeal after two puppies he was planning to give to his children have gone missing.

Schneider’s puppies – Paisley, a Yorkiepoo, and Marley, a Yorkie terrier – were in his Cadillac Escalade SUV when it was stolen from a parking lot at the Sherman Oaks Fashion Square mall, according to TMZ, which first reported the story.

While the vehicle was recovered, the dogs – gifts for the actor’s children, were nowhere to be found, leading the former “Dukes of Hazard” star to appeal for the public’s help in a call to KIIS FM DJ Valentine, Wednesday morning.

“I understand what’s going on in the economy and I understand that… nobody stole the car because the dogs were in it,” John said. “If you have been given the gift of two little puppies or even one of our puppies – either Paisley or Marley – (Paisley is the little Yorkie terrier, Marley is the little Yorkiepoo — he’s kind of apricot color) — if you’ve been given the gift out of nowhere… Those puppies really belong to (my children),” Schneider said. “I’d very much like for you to consider doing the right thing and getting in touch with Valentine, getting in touch with the shelter and getting those puppies back in the Christmas home that they belong in.”

Schneider said he doesn’t plan to take action – he just wants the ten-week-old pups back.

“I’m not mad, I’m not gonna point a finger, I’m not gonna tell a tale,” he said. “I would just like to have our puppies back for Christmas.”

And making a reference to his previous role of Clark Kent’s “Smallville” dad, Schneider appealed for the canines safe return one last time.

“Superman’s dad would very much like to get his puppies back,” he said. “I would really like to have the little guy and the little girl back.”
