A 10-week-old Scottish terrier stolen in the burglary of a Burien pet shop on July 29 was found early Sunday morning, Aug. 1.

Deputies went to a 9-1-1 call in Burien to speak with a 17-year-old female victim of a harassment and minor assault, neither of which she wanted prosecuted.

However, she did mention the female suspect in the assault, also 17, and her 17-year-old boyfriend (name unknown) had a stolen dog that she saw in news reports.

Deputies went to the Burien apartment where the two suspects are staying. The terrier was found and in generally good health.

Detectives are investigating. There have been no arrests so far.

The abducted canine was returned to the pet store.

Original story
A 10-week old puppy was stolen in the burglary of a Burien pet store early this morning. The break-in occurred just after 4:00 AM at A Place for Pets, 431 SW 152 St.

The stolen puppy is a female Scottish Terrier. She was removed from her kennel by the suspect. Nothing else was missing from the store.

Deputies on routine patrol heard the store's burglar alarm go off about 4:12 AM. They tracked the alarm to the store and found the rear door in the alley open. Further investigation revealed the burglar probably got into the store by removing an air conditioner unit from a rear window.

The owner of the pet store was called and he reported the puppy gone. The dog was listed for sale at $745.

If anyone sees the missing puppy or knows who took her, they are asked to call the King County Sheriff's Office at (206) 296-3311 (24 hours) or 9-1-1.
