BRONX - Cops are looking for a pair of heartless dognappers who ran off with the family pet when they took him out of a Bronx apartment building. 

The NYPD released a video, which allegedly shows, two suspects helping themselves to the family pet Milkshake who was in the hallway of an apartment building at 975 Tiffany Street. Milkshake is a 10-year-old female Dachshund.

At around 8 pm on May 4, the two women are seen on building cameras entering the Tiffany Street building with Milkshake sitting in the hallway. Later video stills show the suspects standing in the hallway landing talking with Milkshake sitting by them. Cops said the pair then took the dog without permission and walked out. 

It is not clear how the dog was in the hallway or whether the dog somehow got out of the family apartment. However, the owners provided cops with plenty of photos to help find Milkshake. 

The suspects are described as females with dark complexions. The first suspect has a thin build and a patch of red in her short hair. She wore a white t-shirt, black pants and black sneakers. 

The second suspect has a heavy build and long red dreadlocks. She was last seen wearing a black jacket, black shirt, blue jeans and black and white sneakers.
