A 9-year-old French bulldog named Pepper has been safely reunited with her family after being stolen from a parked car outside J. Alexander’s Restaurant in Worthington, Ohio.

Her owner, Liz Harrison, said the car’s rear window was smashed while the family went inside to pick up food. After days of appeals on social media and local news, the person who purchased Pepper through Facebook Marketplace contacted the family and arranged her return. Pepper was taken to MedVet for a medical evaluation before reuniting with her loved ones.

Harrison was especially concerned about Pepper’s health, as the dog requires medication three times a day and ongoing eye treatment. After being with the family since she was 16 weeks old, Pepper is now home with her family and her bonded French bulldog companion, Olive.
