Toronto police say a six-year-old American Bulldog-Pitbull named Stella that was allegedly stolen in the city’s east end earlier this week has been found.
Police said they were called at 5:30 a.m. on Tuesday for reports of a robbery in the area of Woodbine Avenue and Lakeshore Boulevard.
Officers said a woman was walking her dog when she got into a conversation with a man. The dog then went into the man’s vehicle to cool off and the man allegedly pushed the woman and drove away with the dog inside the car.
A police spokesperson told Global News the dog ended up at an animal shelter, though it is unclear how she got there.
Workers at the shelter later discovered from a Toronto police news release that Stella had been stolen and contacted the owners.
