Australian police responded to a call in Melbourne's east on Tuesday night to find two teenagers in a pet store and 17 puppies in a nearby car.
Police charged the two teenagers with burglary, theft and being equipped to steal.
A neighbour in the area had alerted the police after hearing breaking glass and barking.
Pet shop owner Lyn Watson-Gust said she was glad to find the puppies safe. "It's been a huge night for them, but thankfully they are back to safety again."
Police say the puppies left quite a mess in the car. "There was an awful lot of dogs in there and they were just roaming around inside, chewing on the seat covers and doing what puppies do."
"We'll be seizing the car and I won't be driving it. We'll be getting a tow truck, I certainly wouldn't want to be sitting in that car."
