A dog stolen from her owner in a St. Paul robbery has been found and is safe, police said Friday.

Two young men approached Greta Deane in the Payne-Phalen area about 4 p.m. Wednesday and asked her about her dog.

One of the suspects yanked her dog’s leash and the other shoved Deane onto the pavement, and they ran away with Clementine. The 7-year-old dog is a French bulldog-Boston terrier mix.

“I’m just profoundly grateful and deeply thankful,” Deane said Friday afternoon, just after police reunited her with Clementine. “I couldn’t imagine not getting her back.”

She planned to take Clementine to the veterinarian’s office on Friday because she said her dog is injured and fell asleep as soon as she got home. “I’m worried about her demeanor and her condition physically,” Deane said. Clementine has medical conditions and takes prescription medications.

No one was immediately under arrest and the investigation is active, said Alyssa Arcand, a St. Paul police spokeswoman.

“Thanks to everyone who shared (information) and looked out for Clementine, we were able to locate her” in the 500 block of Selby Avenue in St. Paul Friday, Arcand said.
