NORTH CHARLESTON, S.C. (AP) — A South Carolina man is offering $10,000 for the safe return of his dog after someone stole his truck with the pet inside.
The dog named Bella was inside Ben Brengle’s truck when it was stolen last week from outside a home improvement store in North Charleston, news outlets report.
It was cold and rainy that Sunday before Christmas, so Brengle left the 2-year-old yellow Labrador mix in the truck with the engine running, he said. He was only running inside to get some lumber and his car was feet from the store’s entrance.
By the time he returned minutes later, Bella and his white Chevy Silverado were gone, he said.
He and his family have checked the local shelters and have found no sign of his four-footed friend.
