Kim Vann, owner of Bakery on Bergen in Brooklyn, posted a video to Instagram showing a woman kicking the topiary dog outside of the business before picking it up and walking away.

Vann said the dog, which she named Peabody, was badly damaged. The bakery owner said the woman who took Peabody sent her an apologetic message, but she isn't in a rush to forgive the thief. "If you were really apologizing, it would be face-to-face," Vann told Patch, "not returning it like thieves in the night." She said police are investigating the incident.
