A French bulldog that was stolen from its owner in California during a walk has been recovered nearly 3,000 miles away in Philadelphia.
Rachel Avery was walking her Frenchie, Jag, in West Hollywood earlier this month when he slipped out of his collar, Los Angeles ABC station KABC reported. Surveillance video shows the dog running around the neighborhood before a man exited a black SUV and scooped him up before driving away.
Days later, Avery received a call from someone in Philadelphia who promised to hand over the dog if she did not press charges, saying they did not steal him, Avery said.
"When I heard he was in Philadelphia, it was unbelievable," Avery said.
