A puppy stolen during a carjacking in Emeryville last month has been reunited with his owners, police said Wednesday.
Blue, a Yorkie, was stolen from an Arizona family when they were unloading bags at Sonesta Hotel on July 14 at around 2:45 a.m.
“We had almost everything unloaded, my aunt Karen said 'hey, give us our bag,” said Blue’s owner Peggy Boze. “He started pulling his right pocket, we thought it was either a knife or a gun.”
The suspect took off with the family’s car with Blue inside it. Police eventually found the stolen car but no sign of Blue.
