The dogs' owner, a 59-year-old Swiss man, returned to his apartment in Zurich's Schlieren neighborhood on Feb. 24 and found that his two Bolonka dogs had been stolen, Swiss police said in a news release. The thieves left a blackmail letter demanding 1 million Swiss francs, or about $1,135,271, to release the dogs.

Swiss police said Saturday they had solved a kidnapping involving two dogs and a demand for ransom of 1 million Swiss francs (about $1.135 million). Zurich police said that two Bolonka dogs were stolen from the home of a 59-year-old man in Schlieren near Zurich last week, while the dog owner was away.

The owner of the adorable pups arrived home from a trip and found a ransom note requesting $1 million for the safe return of his dogs but he immediately contacted the police
