Three men walked into the Centennial pet store and asked the employees questions about the bulldog puppies, each worth $4,300, before staging the distraction, sheriff’s officials said.

A good samaritan returned one of the bulldog puppies that was stolen from a Denver-area pet store last week in a brazen heist caught on camera, authorities said Tuesday.

DENVER (AP) — Thieves nabbed a pair of high-priced bulldogs from a Colorado pet store after a man allegedly faked a seizure to distract employees while an accomplice grabbed the puppies from a pen and ran out, authorities said.
