Sioux Falls Couple Offering $500 Reward for Puppy’s Return

SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (AP) — A Sioux Falls couple is offering a $500 reward for information leading to the return of their 3-month-old puppy.

Tony Choularath discovered his dog, Karmelo, was stolen during a break-in at his home last Thursday night. The dog is a tricolored American bully with freckles on his chest and nose.

A television and other electronics also were taken from the home, but Choularath tells the Argus Leader he's more concerned about the puppy.

He and his girlfriend have posted information about Karmelo on social media and have dispersed fliers at local veterinarian offices in an effort to find the dog.

Choularath says the puppy should be fairly easy to spot because his breed in uncommon in South Dakota.
