A dog was found safe Tuesday night after the car it was in was stolen from an Eden Prairie gas station a day earlier.
The car and the canine were taken about 7 p.m. Monday from the Holiday station in the 8000 block of Flying Cloud Drive in the heart of the suburb's retail district, police said.
Shortly before 8 p.m. Tuesday, Eden Prairie police said the car and dog were found safe. The incident remains under investigation.
This is at least the third instance in recent weeks in the Twin Cities in which drivers have left vehicles running with a dog inside only to have the vehicle stolen.
