PBSO says the woman stole the puppy on July 23rd, 2022.

The woman was seen on camera taking the dog from the viewing pen and concealing it underneath her purple sweater before walking out of the store without paying for the puppy.

The puppy is described as a black/white Pekingese mixed with Maltese. The store had the dog for sale and was asking $2,600 for the pup.

PBSO says the suspect and vehicle information is unknown at this time.
