Family reunited with their dogs after they were stolen by a FedEx driver

A Houston family have been reunited with their French bulldogs after they were allegedly stolen by a FedEx driver. Armando and Erica Correa said they first began looking for their two dogs, Sheila and Bruno, on Wednesday when they noticed them missing from the backyard. After searching the neighborhood by foot for their missing pets, they turned to their home surveillance video and found clues.

The surveillance video showed a FedEx driver snatching up the first dog, Sheila, and putting her in his truck. As the driver went to grab the second dog, Bruno, Sheila escaped from the truck, but the driver caught her again and eventually left with both dogs. "Once we seen them on the video we were like, I can't believe it," Erica Correa said. "We are supposed to trust these people to deliver packages and they are stealing our dogs."
The story had a happy ending for the Correas after a stranger found the dogs together on a neighborhood street about 30 miles from the family’s home. The stranger, who was not identified, took the dogs to a veterinary clinic where someone recognized the dogs from a local newscast. “They were in great condition,” said Dr. John Gregory of Kirkwood Veterinary Hospital. “They look happy, healthy, very playful.”

The dogs were reunited with the Correa family, including 5-year-old daughter, Savannah, on Thursday night. It is not clear if the dogs were let go by the driver or if they escaped. In a statement FedEx says it is “taking this incident very seriously and continues to work closely with authorities investigating this matter. Pending the completion of this investigation, the driver will not be providing service on behalf of FedEx ground.”
