A puppy that had been sleeping inside a work truck stolen out of Glendale reunited with his owner over the weekend after the vehicle was found Friday, Feb. 21.

Cain, a 5-month old bulldog, was found slightly dehydrated, but otherwise in good health, Glendale Police Sgt. Dan Suttles said. The dog was still inside the cab of the stolen truck, which was found with only minor damage by Los Angeles Police Department officers in the parking lot of a church in the northeast San Fernando Valley.

“Officers from the Foothill division responded to a vehicle parked on private property, looked inside, and there was a dog,” Suttles said.

The vehicle had been stolen at about 3 a.m. on Thursday, Feb. 20. Members of the church said it had been in the parking lot for about 14 hours, Suttles said.

The truck was returned to the company it belonged to, Suttles said. Meanwhile, Cain was taken to a nearby animal shelter, where it was picked up by its owner.

“At the end of the day, the dog made it home and seems to be well, by all accounts,” Suttles said. “That’s the most important thing out of this whole situation.”
