Boy, 5, reunited with puppy as burglary and theft suspect named

A five-year-old boy who had his new puppy stolen was reunited with his furry friend.

The 12-week-old French Bulldog puppy, Stitch, was missing from his bed after Karen Higgins, 30, heard dishes crashing and a candle smash on the window ledge at around 10pm on Thursday, May 19. The mum-of-two ran into her road on Wilburn Street, Walton, shouting 'somebody is in my house' and called police.

Karen had only bought the dog a month earlier for her five-year-old son Tyler, who is autistic and struggles communicating with people. Since coming into their home Karen said Stitch was 'stuck to Tyler like glue'.
