The woman parked the car outside a store in the 3300 block of Central Expressway, near West Parker Road, around 2 p.m. Monday, police said. She left the car running and the air conditioning on for her 2-year-old Shih Tzu, Prince.

When she returned, the car — a white, four-door Ford Focus with California license plate 7XIF200 — was gone, along with Prince.

But Prince's tale has a happy ending: Police said late Tuesday afternoon that he'd been found in a park in Dallas and would be reunited with his owner.
