People came out of their house and tried to stop them before driving off with her two dogs inside the vehicle, she said.

“It was amazing,” Einglis said.

The stolen car and dogs, Sophie and Lily, were “safely recovered” in Prince George’s County, police said.

This is the most recent theft case involving captured dogs in the district.

On April 14, two dogs were caught in a series of robberies and assaults. A day later, one of the dogs, Pablo, an Australian Shepherd dog, was found in the northeast.

Although seven people have been arrested for the theft, four have been released without charge and the second dog, a French bulldog named Bruno, has yet to be found.
