B

A woman whose sports car was stolen with her dog in it put up notices all over the area. It was clear that 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 p.m. theft Friday, Julie and Tom, a 10-year-old black retriever (猎犬), were reunited (重聚). “He’s hungry. He’s dirty, but he’s very happy to be home,” Julie said.

The car was found 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 providing him with 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 (报酬), and also that the dog needed medical treatment. Any caller could remain anonymous. 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 items out of the car before getting away from the scene.
