7-year-old girl steals neighbor’s husky, replaces him with stuffed animal replica

This is the funny moment a young girl “stole” her neighbor’s dog and replaced him — with a stuffed toy replica.

Olivia Myers, 7, has been best friends with Gunnar, an 11-year-old husky, since they met two years ago.

Gunnar’s owner, Amanda Sullian, 38, has admired and encouraged their friendship since it began.

Gunnar and Olivia play together daily, which has led to an ongoing joke between Amanda and Olivia about whom Gunnar actually belongs to.

Olivia previously threatened to steal Gunnar and replace him with a cuddly toy, but Amanda laughed it off.

Little did she know that the little girl was serious and planned to execute her plan.

Funny surveillance footage shows Olivia sneaking into Amanda’s backyard, calling Gunnar away and laying a stuffed husky toy in his place.

Amanda, from Gloucester, Massachusetts, said: “We’d been making this joke over the whole summer that she actually owns Gunnar, not me.

“When I got an alert from my backyard camera and saw what she was doing, I thought I’d let her play it out.

“I was laughing inside the house, which I think Gunnar heard, which explains why he was so hesitant to go with her.”

Olivia knows about the security camera and knew that Amanda wouldn’t worry about Gunnar being gone.

About five minutes after Olivia initially took Gunnar, Amanda went outside to meet them.

She said: “I wasn’t really worried at any point.

“I could see everything happening and they play together so often that I know they’ll be OK.”
