Thieves break into an East Ridge home and the family is pleading for help.The suspects didn't just take expensive electronics, they also took a family member.Bitsy is 8 weeks old and can barely fend for herself. Thursday, thieves snatched her from her home, and her new-found family.Our things can be replaced with insurance, but we can't replace her. We just want our dog back, said Tonja Johnston, who didn't get such a warm welcome-home Thursday afternoon. When only one of the dogs came running to me, I first looked for her and she's usually laying over here, and I looked up and that's when I saw the television was gone.The thieves also made off with 2 more flat screen TVs, her son's brand new Remington shotgun, and three x-box 360 consols.I do know that they were using my husband's xbox. His gamer tag was on several times last night, so they're using it, said Johnston.But what made Johnston the most upset, was that her dog Bitsy was gone. I knew that she had not just gotten out and ran off because she can't get down the stairs. She's like 7 weeks old and weighs like a pound so I knew she didn't run off on her own.And Tonja isn't just heartbroken, she's also worried that Bitsy might be in danger.We just want our puppy back and know that she's OK. And of course all of us were worried because she's not all the way potty trained yet and I didn't want someone being mean to her if she had an accident and when she rides in a car, she might pee in her car, and just little things we're worried about her for.The family's other dog, Dodger, is also missing his new friend. They had just kind of gotten to know each other and playing with each other and chasing each other and hanging out. I'm sure now he's probably missing her and wondering where she's at, much like we are.Johnston says the thieves also made off with a pair of diamond earrings, a couple of laptops, and multiple Apple electronics.If you know anything about the incident, call East Ridge police.By Natalie Jenereski
