A woman whose sports car was stolen with her dog in it put up notices all over the area that made it clear
getting back her pet was more important than her car.
"Whoever did this can keep my car. Please let Tom come home," the notice said.
It is not known whether the thief showed any pity, but almost 30 hours after the 1 pm theft Friday, Julie
and Tom, a 10-year-old black retriever (猎犬), were reunited after police located them in Barringlon.
"He's hungry, he's dirty, but he's very happy to be home," Julie said.
The car was found at about 5 pm Saturday off Route 125 in an area full of off-the-road cars and dirt bikes.
However, the police couldn't control Tom, and they had to call Julie to come and get him.
Julie said the thief cared for Tom a little by giving him some dry dog food. She believed Tom ended up
drinking some muddy water in the area.
She said they have been together for nearly 8 years after she took him back from a society shelter in Dallas,
Texas.
Before Tom was found, Julie and several friends put up notices all over the city. They also contacted animal
shelters, throughout southern New Hampshire and Massachusetts.
The notice stated there was a reward, and also that the dog needed medication. Any caller could remain
anonymous (匿名的).
Julie had parked the car outside a hardware store with the keys inside and gone in to buy a carpet cleaner.
"It was 10 minutes and I came out and my car was gone along with Tom in broad daylight," Julie said. The
car thief threw her wallet and other personal items out of the car before escaping from the scene.
