PHILADELPHIA (CBS) -- It's one thing to steal someone's television; that can be replaced. But it's another thing to swipe someone's dog during a home burglary.

That's exactly what happened inside a Philadelphia home and police are searching for the suspects and the stolen dog.

The crime happened on July 30th, but police just released surveillance video of the suspects.
