Dog Stolen From 78-Year-Old Woman Outside Of Grocery Store

BILLINGS, Mont. (AP) - A 78-year-old Billings woman is asking for help in locating her Scotty-Schnauzer cross that was taken from outside an Albertsons store in the Billings Heights.

Barbara Holm tells KULR-TV that she walks with her dog to the store every day. She left 6-year-old dog, named Dandy, tied to her walker outside the store Thursday, but when she returned, Dandy was gone.

Store surveillance video shows Holm walking with Dandy toward the store and later a man walking away from the store holding a small, black dog. He had two children with him.

Missy Jones says her mother, who suffers from dementia, is devastated. She says her mom talks about her dog, to her dog and takes her dog everywhere. Jones says they just want Dandy returned, no questions asked.
