Investigators said witnesses reported seeing a man and a teenager on bikes remove Ruthie the toy poodle from the car of her owners, Judy and Freddie Marks, while they were dining Saturday night at a Boston restaurant, the Boston Globe reported Tuesday.

Marks said she and Freddie Marks, 79, put out missing dog fliers promising a $2,000 reward for Ruthie's safe return, and they received a phone call Sunday saying a man in a wheelchair was waiting for them with Ruthie at Moakley Park. Judy Marks said they found Ruthie with a group of homeless men and she gave them $500 and a promise to return with the rest of the money the following day. "I didn't care if I had to give the money to the thieves themselves," she said. "All I wanted was Ruthie." Police said they do not know if the men who returned the dog to the couple were connected to the thieves. The investigation is ongoing. Advertisement
