Stolen English Bulldog Returned After Dramatic Theft in Colorado

In a dramatic theft at a Centennial pet store, two bulldog puppies were stolen, prompting a police investigation. Surveillance footage revealed one suspect faked a medical emergency while another grabbed the puppies, escaping in a gold Cadillac Escalade with two accomplices. A good Samaritan later returned one of the stolen puppies after recognizing it from news reports, having purchased it from a street vendor for $1,500. The Perfect Pets store had offered a $4,000 reward for the safe return of both puppies. The Arapahoe County Sheriff’s Office continues to search for the remaining suspects, one of whom is described as wearing a large black coat. The incident highlights a troubling trend of pet thefts in the U.S., where purebred dogs are often targeted for resale or abuse.
