A woman was robbed of her dog in St. Paul during a walk and police asked for the public’s help Thursday to find the pet.

Two young men approached the 37-year-old woman in the Payne-Phalen area just before 4 p.m. Wednesday and asked her about her dog, said Alyssa Arcand, a St. Paul police spokeswoman. They then pushed the woman down and took the dog, whose name is Clementine. It happened in the area of Westminster Street and York Avenue.

Clementine, who is also known as “Tiny,” is a French bulldog-Boston terrier mix who is mostly black in color and has a white underbelly. She weighs about 25 pounds and is microchipped.

“Right now we want to make sure Clementine is found and is back home safe,” Arcand said.

Police are asking anyone with information to call robbery/homicide unit at 651-266-5650.

A detailed description of the suspects wasn’t available as of Thursday morning.
