A lost puppy is safe at home once again.
Hudson, a four-month-old Great Pyrenees puppy, was inside a pickup truck that was reported stolen from Milton last Friday, February 26. Both the vehicle and Hudson were reported stolen and all of Halton Region was on alert; a social media campaign specifically to bring the dog home to the owners, #HelpFindHudson, also started.
Last night, Halton Regional Police Service (HRPS) reported that Hudson made it home safe.
"On March 1, 2021 at approximately 7:00 pm an unknown person returned the puppy [Hudson] to a family member of the victim," says the press release. "The puppy was left tied to the front porch. Hudson has since been reunited with its owner."
The original crime last Friday night saw the HRPS investigate the theft of a Toyota Tacoma pickup truck from the Real Canadian Super Store in Milton. Hudson was in the truck at the time of the theft.
Stolen puppy "Hudson" has been returned and reunited with its owner. Police still looking to identify person(s) responsible. Stolen truck is still outstanding.
