Petland’s general manager, Amy Parker, told 3News that an Old English Bulldog was stolen from the store on Saturday morning. 

Surveillance video obtained by 3News shows a man walking into the store to meet the puppy and then leaving with it. The store says the puppy is valued at more than $6,000. 

“We just want her back. We want to know she is safe. We can’t say what should happen to the individual who did this. Primarily, we just want her back,” said Parker. 

Parker said that this is the second time a dog has been stolen from the store since 2022. 

3News has reached out to Parma police regarding the incident and is waiting to hear back.
