A dog-loving Brooklyn couple was reunited with their beloved French bulldog, Coco Chanel, on Monday night \u2014 hours after a crew of brazen dognappers snatched the pooch<\/a> in a home invasion heist.<\/p>\n

Coco was saved after the armed bandits ditched her in a garage at Wyckoff Heights Medical Centers, where staffers took her in and recognized her from an article in The Post.<\/p>\n

The couple trekked to nurse Amy O\u2019Sullivan\u2019s home on Staten Island for a heartwarming reunion with the 2-year-old pet late Monday.<\/p>\n

\u201cI missed you!\u201d Coco\u2019s owner, Kevin, swooned while kissing and petting\u00a0Coco. \u201cI was devastated. My heart just broke down. I was like, thank God. It was right the next day. I was so emotional.<\/p>\n

\u201cI was so happy because you found her,\u201d he told O\u2019Sullivan. \u201cTo know that your kid is gone. I come home everyday to her. Just thinking how long it is going to take to find her.\u201d<\/p>\n

Coco was stolen early Monday morning, when a gang of four armed bandits broke into the couple\u2019s Bushwick home, demanded valuables and made off with the bulldog and $8,000 in Pok\u00e9mon cards.<\/p>\n

Hours later, O\u2019Sullivan\u2019s wife, Tiffany Latz, who is also a nurse at Wyckoff, was notified that the dog was roaming around the hospital parking lot after being dropped off by the crooks. <\/p>\n

\u201cA worker at the hospital said, \u2018Tiffany there is a dog in the parking lot,’\u201d O\u2019Sullivan told The Post. \u201c\u201cShe said, \u2018What? Let me get the dog.\u2019 She goes into the parking lot. The dog is in the ice and she brings the dog into the hospital. She called me and said, \u2018Come get the dog.\u2019 and that\u2019s what I did.<\/p>\n

\u201cShe saw the Post story and was like, \u2018Oh my God. That\u2019s the dog!\u2019\u201d O\u2019Sullivan said. \u201cThat\u2019s how the ball got rolling.\u201d<\/p>\n

The 62-year-old mother of three was an easy choice to be Coco\u2019s savior \u2014 she is a proud animal lover who owns five pets, including a paralyzed French bulldog.<\/p>\n

She said the rescued canine wouldn\u2019t eat kibble when she got him home, so she served her tuna and oatmeal until she could be reunited with her owners. <\/p>\n

\u201cThis is a great story because most s\u2013t I see is f\u2014king bad s\u2014t,\u201d O\u2019Sullivan said.<\/p>\n
