Bold criminal walks into Kendall pet store and steals French bulldog puppy

MIAMI-DADE COUNTY, Fla. – A brazen thief was caught on camera stealing a puppy from a Miami-Dade pet store.

It happened on Monday evening at the Petland store in Kendall located at 8236 Mills Drive.

The crook was dressed in all-black, similar to the uniform worn by the employees.

He is seen on video entering the kennel area and grabbing the French bulldog from its crate.

According to the pet shop manager, the 2-month-old puppy’s name is “Botitas” which means “little boots” in Spanish.

The man then walked right out the front door, carrying the puppy to his car and taking off.

The manager told Local 10 News that all of the dogs at his shop range $3,000 and up.

He says he’s not concerned about the money he’s lost but more so about the well-being of the puppy.

“It’s about trying to get our puppy back,” he said.

Anyone who recognizes him is urged to call the police or Miami-Dade Crime Stoppers at 305-471-TIPS.
