Police said Tuesday that one of the stolen puppies has been found safe and is in the process of being returned to the owner.
The puppy was located after an alert citizen saw an unknown woman walking a border collie puppy near her business in Richmond. The reporting citizen asked the unknown woman about the puppy and the woman abandoned it prior to fleeing the area. Officers searched the area for the woman and the other puppy, but were unable to locate either.
Police are still investigating this case and are still actively searching for the second puppy and any potential suspects.
The East Bay Regional Park District Police Department is seeking the public’s assistance with reuniting the last puppy with its owner.

The woman who saw the thief with the puppy should have taken a picture of her. The cops will find her. One usually doesn’t walk a dog far from where they live or work! Wow! A puppy wound up in Richmond? Who would have thought!
