Two women who had their dogs stolen in South Fulton are calling for the men who took them to return them.
The owners have been posting online and handing out flyers around town, hoping someone will recognize their dogs.
They have surveillance footage of the men stealing the dogs and hope police will use it to find the thieves.

One of the men appears to be wearing an ankle monitor.
“I worry so much if my dogs are still alive, if they’re taking care of them, what’s going on. I just want them to bring them back,” Brenda Lake said Channel 2’s Candace McCowan.
Candria Turner was at a nearby Walmart, checking the security cameras of the home she moved into just three weeks earlier, when she saw two men on camera.
The men tried to kick in her front door.
They then entered her backyard through the back gate.
Turner said the video shows the men tried to break in through the back door but ended up getting in through a window, setting off her alarm.
“Then I started talking to them through the camera. I’m like, ‘The police are on their way.’ That’s the only thing I could think of to say,” Turner said. “Assuming they knew the area and how long it would take for them to arrive, they didn’t care. They were there for a while.”
The men were in her apartment for almost 15 minutes before leaving with four dogs.
One of the dogs was found by a neighbor about 12 hours later.
The three others, Shiloh, Angelica and Bash, are still missing.
“I’ve never felt such sadness. I just want them to come home. I just want to know if they’re okay,” Lake said.
The women hope someone recognizes their dogs or the men in the video.
They are afraid their dogs have been sold.
If so, they are willing to buy them back.
They believe that since one dog was able to escape and return home, they are not far from home.
