Levi Pislea, 22, snatched Richard Guttfield's Miniature Schnauzer , Wilma, when he delivered The Order . It sparked an online appeal to trace the 11-month-old missing hound.

He was ordered to carry out 150 hours' unpaid work.
Mr Guttfield discovered Wilma - who was valued at £800 - was missing on 27 April last year.
The 52-year-old searched for four days and nights and put up posters in the area around his home in Marsworth, Buckinghamshire and contacted Amazon .

Chairman of the magistrates' bench Irvin Thobourne, said: "You took no steps to make inquiries about the owner of dog. You knew A Family were looking for The Dog .
