SHERMAN OAKS, CA. (THECOUNT) — Stolen Labradoodle “Stella,” taken during a Sherman Oaks, CA, burglary Friday night, has been returned to its owner, Barbara Goodhill.
According to reports, a young man pushed Stella through a gate of a neighbor around 9 a.m. Tuesday and fled.
The neighbor reported the animal to be healthy and seemingly unharmed and she had since been reunited with Goodhill.
Stella had been dropped off at an animal hospital, and then taken again last week.
The incident was widely reported on KFI news radio.
Stella, a 4 1/2-year-old black Labradoodle, was taken when thieves broke into Barbara Goodhill’s Sherman Oaks home through a second-story window, ransacked her home, stole jewelry, electronics, reports CBSLosAngeles.
Goodhill was asking the thieves to return Stella, no questions asked and offered a $500 reward.
On Tuesday, Goodhill was at a local printer making lost dog posters when she received a call from her brother saying Southeast Area Animal Control Authority in Downey had contacted him regarding Stella.
