A 4-year-old mute boy who spoke for the first time after getting a dog for his birthday went silent again after the puppy was stolen.
Liam Hainsworth, of West Yorkshire, England, is heartbroken over the loss of his best friend, a pug named Milie.
“There’s no words coming out but you just know he’s screaming ‘Where is Milie? Where is she?’ inside,” his worried mother, Aimee Hainsworth, 24, told London’s Daily Mail.
