Missing Burglar-Chasing Dog Found!

2008_12_pppy.jpgOn Tuesday, Kola, a one-year-old pit bull mix, had successfully chased away a burglar who attempted to break into her family's New City, NY home. When her owners came home, they discovered a "window was broken" and "muddy footprints in the house." Nothing was taken but Kola, who was rescued from a dog-fighting ring and adopted by the Rosen family earlier this year, was missing! And the Rosens were especially worried since Kola has an infected leg and needs medication. Last night, the pup surfaced in NJ. Someone found her tied to a pole at a Costco and took her to a shelter, where Mitch Rosen ID'd her and took her home.

That's great news! This poor dog has been through enough stuff in one year to fill a memoir.

Poor thing. Glad to hear it was a happy ending.

Yeah, I'm very happy Kola was found, too. She sounds very brave—and so happy to be with her family that she wants to protect them.

The way that is worded is hard to read.

boy, I glad he was found and mutts are the best. They are so grateful for a home and are so loyal to those that provide them a home.

Good dog. Sit and stay.

Did any of the local hospitals admit a person missing part of his butt?
