Here are the top 3 stories in Tulsa today:

1. Tulsa police are investigating an armed robbery that happened at a CVS Pharmacy on Monday morning. Officials say a man armed with a crowbar entered the pharmacy near 71st Street and Yale Avenue around 6:40 a.m. and robbed the cash register. Police established a perimeter to search for the suspect, who fled on foot. (News On 6)
2. The Children’s Hospital at Saint Francis held a dog parade to bring joy to patients on Valentine's Day. The dog parade took place outside the hospital, where patients were able to safely view the festivities from their rooms. Some of the participating dogs and their owners have visited patients at the facility in the past — a volunteer activity that one dog owner says may resume at the hospital as early as next month.

3. The Oklahoma State University-Tulsa campus hosted a workshop for aspiring filmmakers over the weekend. Students who attended the two-day "Setiquette" event had the opportunity to shadow professional filmmakers and learn about topics including directing and production design. Instructor Zach Litwack says the school hopes to hold the workshop again in the fall due to the success of the event. (News On 6)
