Toronto, Leaside and all South Bayview dog owners will want to be aware of this brazen theft of a French bulldog from a tattoo parlour in Vancouver. A woman (inset) walked out of the downtown studio while its owner was just a few feet away. Shaughnessy Keely, who manages the studio said it happened Thursday evening when the woman came into the business and started looking around. Keely’s 10-month-old dog, Chloe, is often at work with her. The suspect asked to pet and hold the bulldog, which is a common request from many customers. The video is chilling as Keely (wearing a red toque) opens the door from the staff only area to let Chloe out so the women can pick her up. The thief meanders toward the door and then breaks into a run. Staff members run madly after the woman but it is too late. This all happens as Keely is distracted. The suspect gets into a black car with no licence plates that was waiting out front. It speeds away. The whole incident took 90 seconds — and was caught on the store’s surveillance camera. Keely has shared the video on Instagram and YouTube in hopes someone will help identify the woman and bring Chloe home. The French bulldog weighs about 19 pounds and was wearing a pink hoodie, pink harness and striped leash when she was taken. Brazen theft of dog by woman: #bulldog stolen
