Stolen Puppy Returned by Thief
Published: March 8, 2006
It’s a happy ending for a little guy that weighs less than two pounds.
“Billy” is his name. Monday afternoon, Billy was stolen right from his pen at the Puppies Galore and More store on Blanding Boulevard.
“I didn’t think we would ever see him again,” says Marsha Kello, owner of the pet store.
Kello thought Billy would die. Billy is on a special diet because he is so little. If he doesn’t eat the right foods his blood sugar can drop to dangerous levels and he can die.
Surveillance video at the store shows two women who went into the store Monday afternoon and left minutes later with Billy in one of their jackets.
First Coast News aired their pictures and hours later Kello got a phone call.
“She saw herself and her employer recognized her,” says Kello.
She says the girl wanted to return Billy. She came herself, Tuesday morning, to return the package she had stolen.
“She came knocking on the door crying. She was just saying how sorry she was and if she would have known it was on a special diet she wouldn’t have taken it,” says Amy Pelfrey, one of the store’s workers.
Billy is still a little upset over the ordeal. He’s spent a good share of the day crying and shaking, but he did get the food he needs and is getting his energy back.
Kello says she just wanted the dog back and is not pressing any charges against the young woman who stole the dog.
Kello says she hopes the woman learned her lesson.
As for Billy, he is now in a locked kennel, that is until his new owner shows up to take him to his new home.
Billy should get to his new home on Wednesday.
