Stolen Service Puppy Found, Reunited With Caretaker

MILTON, GA -- The adorable service puppy stolen last week from a kennel in Milton has been located.

That's according to Canine Assistants, who set up the Bring Dorie Home Facebook page in an effort to recover the pup

Organizers behind the effort posted the update early Wednesday afternoon, as well as video of Dorie's retrieval from the Georgia SPCA's offices.

Georgia SPCA said on its Facebook page that Dorie was located nearby and brought to its facility at 1175 Buford Highway in Suwanee.

"Reunited and it feels AMAZING," the Bring Dorie Home page said in the video post (see below).

The 11-week-old Golden Retriever was taken Sept. 3 from the farm on Francis Road in the northern part of the city.

Canine Assistants provides service dogs to assist children and adults with physical disabilities. Milton police spokesperson Lt. Charles Barstow said the agency is still working to develop leads in the case.

"But we will be leaving no stone unturned in our investigation, and will make every effort to identify the suspect(s) involved," he added.
