Bubba was stolen near North Sullivan Street and West 1st Street in Santa Ana after he wandered away from owner’s workplace.
HUNTINGTON BEACH – The owners of an award-winning bulldog named Bubba are offering a $2,000 reward to get their white-and-red dog returned after he was stolen last week.
Bubba was last seen about 2:30 p.m. Dec. 15 at MK Printing at North Sullivan Street and West 1st Street in Santa Ana, where the dog's owner, Richard Truong, works.
"I bring him out every day to work because he is kind of like my little kid," Truong said. "He's not only a show dog, but he's like my little baby."
An employee accidentally left a door open and the bulldog wandered out of the building, Truong said. Witnesses told Truong that two men about 20 years old cut across three lanes of traffic in their car to lure the dog inside.
Bubba, an 18-month-old dog, recently won second place in the Eukanuba dog show in Long Beach. Bubba has been microchipped and is worth more than $10,000, Truong said.
Truong and his girlfriend, Suzanne Stephens, both of Huntington Beach, have canvassed the neighborhood around the printing company, leaving 2,000 flyers and 3,000 cards, but have not found Bubba. The couple has also hired people to look for the dog and hand out flyers.
"The first minute he was born I had him in my hand reviving him and getting him to breathe," Truong said. "I'm still kind of in shock."
Information: Truong at 714-390-4350.
