GREENSBORO, N.C. -- Greensboro police have recovered a French bulldog puppy that was taken from Friendly Pets.
- Employees said a man came in and asked to play with the puppy in a playroom and when an employee looked away, took off with the dog
- The store's general manager said her primary concern was the puppy's well-being
- Jaqueris Emon Eaves from Charlotte has been charged with Felony Larceny of a Dog and Felony Possession of Stolen Property
Employees said a man came in and asked to play with the puppy in a playroom at the front of the store.
When an employee looked away, the man took off with the $4,500 dog and ran into a black SUV.
Store representatives say they require an I.D. to play with any dog, following a similar situation that happened 10 years ago.
However, the I.D. that the man gave them was tattered.
The dog is reportedly still in good health and has been returned to the store.
Jaqueris Emon Eaves from Charlotte has been charged with Felony Larceny of a Dog and Felony Possession of Stolen Property.
