Here's that surveillance video that seems to confirm that Bubba the puppy was the victim of a dognapping.

Daily Breeze reporter Donna Littlejohn has shared her homes with a succession of wonderful, funny, and occasionally difficult canines -- Muffin, Fritz, Ellie, Mercy, Pilgrim and now Cowboy, an Australian shepherd-border collie, and Tess, a border collie. From strong-willed terriers to weirdly obsessed Australian shepherds, they've invaded her world with boundless energy, wet noses, muddy paws and soggy tennis balls. But they've really brought so much more than that -- like laughter and joy, some unexpected life lessons, and more than a few tears along the way.

Josh Grossberg grew up with the usual array of animals: goldfish, dogs, hamsters, parakeets and turtles. He now owns the loudest dog in the South Bay(Video: Rocket the Dog) and is the least popular person on his block. He spends his free time in dog parks, pet shops and always has an extra plastic bag in his pocket just in case. He also has a cat.

Thank goodness Bubba is home safe. A new puppy is often a learning experience and I have a feeling the owners will be sure all escape routes are closed and Bubba is left inside when no one is home.
Thanks Donna for bringing attention to this, it was instrumental in bringing Bubba home.
Speaking as someone who stops and picks up every dog she finds running loose. If the dog has tags, CALL the owners! If the dog is without tags, knock on doors-ask the neighbors if they know where the dog lives. If no one knows, take the dog to any vet's office where he/she can be scanned for a microchip (no charge). If no owner information can be found, take the dog to the proper shelter. That is where the owners will go if they are looking for him/her. If no one comes to claim the dog ONLY THEN are you legally able to take ownership of the dog and keep him/her.
The person who took Bubba should really be ashamed of themself.
Only in a town like San Pedro do so many neighbors come together to help. It's one of the greatest things about living here.
so glad the puppy is home ..we found ourself walking around the neighborhood yesterday with our dogs...peaking into every yard looking for the puppy ...I can only imagine what the owners had to go through....while I have double locks on the front and back ...I still worry a lot about those hooligans from the highschool going around opening gates and letting dogs out (as they have been in our neighborhood prior to summer break)
As Rebecca , we also pick up every dog that runs around on his own ,but I am happy to say that we were able to locate the owners for every one so far.Shows you again how important micro chipping is.
