Adorable Pup Stolen From Little Girl In DC: Report

WASHINGTON, DC -- A 7-year-old girl had her dog Biscuit stolen from her just days before Christmas. But that dog is back home safe and sound.

D.C. police tweeted out a plea to the public for help after 7-year-old Reagan Turner had her labradoodle Biscuit taken by a man at around 1 p.m. on Wednesday on 32nd Street in Southeast. But two strangers who found the dog on Pennsylvania Avenue returned Biscuit home to her family, according to a Fox 5 report.

“Biscuit is my best, best, best friend,” Reagan told Fox 5. “The reason we named him Biscuit because he looks like a biscuit.”

A man reportedly was captured on surveillance camera opening the front gate of the family's fenced yard and allowing Biscuit to follow him away from the home.

Biscuit's plight even captured the attention of D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser.
