Missing French Bulldog 'Recardito' found after vehicle stolen in Northwest
Stolen French bulldog reunited with owner in DC
Recardito, a stolen French bull dog, was reunited with his owner Monday evening in D.C. FOX 5 covered the case.
WASHINGTON - A 4-year-old French Bulldog named Recardito has been found after going missing over the weekend.
Early Sunday morning, the victim parked their car – with Recardito inside – in the 1900 block of 14th Street, Northwest.
When the victim returned to where they had parked their car, they discovered it had been stolen, along with Recardito.
The victim's vehicle has been found, but Recardito was not in the vehicle.
The victim's name, Elkin, tells FOX 5 he moved here with Recardito a few months ago from Colombia.
Elkin says he is a DoorDash driver, and left Recardito in the car for just minutes while he ran into a nearby McDonald's to grab an order.
"The truth is, I don't know what to do," said Elkin in Spanish. "I need my dog back."
