ROCHESTER, N.Y. — A Rochester man that was offering $2,000 for the safe return of his six-month-old Havanese puppy said the puppy was returned Monday
Eric Berg says he had taken his puppy 'Benny' to pick up take-out food near East and Alexander Saturday evening around 6:30 p.m. He kept the car running to be sure Benny stayed warm while he ran inside to get the food. He said he was only inside for about a minute, and came back outside to see his car being stolen.
He said he ran into the street to try and stop the suspect, but they were able to get away.
Berg, who filed a report with Rochester Police, says he has received a lot of support from the community and that some people have offered money to put towards increasing the reward. He says he just wants his dog back, no questions asked.
