Bureau is accused of taking Eva Hodgdon's dog, Noni, while her family was on a trip.

Hodgdon said she hired a woman off Facebook named Moll Dunning to watch her dog. After a short trip out of the state, Hodgdon returned and tried to contact Dunning to bring Noni home. However, Dunning never responded.

Bureau is now being held in the Westmoreland County Jail on $10,000 bond.

Noni, though, is still missing.
