(AP) †The Vermont State Police are investigating the theft of several wooden animal sculptures from an art gallery belonging to Stephen Huneck.

Police say that overnight between September 4 and September 5 someone took life-size wooden sculptures of a golden retriever, a black and white cat, a white Scottie dog and a black pug.

A life-size sculpture of a black Labrador and a human was also damaged.

Stephen Huneck is a Vermont folk artist who draws much of his inspiration from animals.
