LARGO, FLORIDA — On January 12, 2016, just before 2:00 PM, 38-year-old Wayne Junior Barfield entered All About Puppies located at 7190 Ulmerton Road. The subject left the store shortly afterward; concealing a 9 week old Yorkie puppy. The individual was observed entering an older model, white truck.
Barfield was arrested Friday and charged with grand theft. According to the AP, the suspect traded the dog for crack and cash in St. Petersburg. The dog is still missing. The animal has a microchip and veterinarians in the area have been alerted.

There’s a lot of people to blame in this story. If you have a pet shop, how the fuck do you not realize when someone has stolen one of your dog? I mean im completely basing this off of my dog but when my boy was a pup at 9 weeks old, he wasn’t fitting in my pants pocket. Guy was the size of my arm at least. Can’t exactly just chest him and throw a hoodie on with out noticing unless you’re the most dense employee on the planet. Second, how the fuck did he steal it? Now im thinking its like when you walk into pet supermarket and they have them in the boxes with no top for gerbils and hamsters. Did he just pick this guy up and walk away? If you have a puppy over a grand you might want to make sure no one can touch it without permission none the less fleece it right under your nose. Third, hey puppy, try to make some noise or something for me one time man. Let me know you’re getting kidnapped by a crack head. You’re suppose to be born with the instincts to detect when shit ain’t kosher. Pee on him to distract him and give a yelp or something or else you just don’t care enough about living a good life and if that’s how you’re gonna act then be a cat or something else next time. Fourth and final, if you’re a crack dealer, don’t accept puppies as part of your payment. That shit has to be paper every time or else whats next? You’re gonna have bums stealing a million toaster ovens trying to tell you that together they’re worth a few crack rock or you’ll have people bringing you cats for just a quick bump to get them off. 10 crack commandments Number 6: that goddamn credit? Dead it. No DUIs in this business and New Rule Number 6(a): Don’t except puppies either and pay your customer the remaining amount for the puppy.
