FORT WAYNE, Ind. (WANE) - Four-month-old Charlie eagerly greeted his family at Fort Wayne Animal Care and Control (FWACC) Wednesday afternoon after apparently being taken in a burglary earlier in the week.
Sheila Snyder said that her American Bulldog puppy was stolen from the family's home on Saturday, along with gifts under the tree and electronics.
"It's horrible," Snyder said on Monday. "The whole thing is just absolutely horrible. I mean who would do that?"
FWACC officials said someone anonymously dropped Charlie off in their overnight drop box late Tuesday or early Wednesday. There's no surveillance video of who dropped the puppy off.
Thanks to a microchip, FWACC was able to confirm that the puppy belonged to Synder.
"This is so exciting," Snyder said at the emotional reunion. "This is like better than Christmas presents under the tree. This is so amazing, an amazing feeling."
Charlie, clearly also excited to be reunited with his family, wagged his tail non-stop as he jumped on, licked and greeted his family members.
"Thank everybody that has posted throughout social media and talked about getting the word out for his safe return," Snyder continued. "We thank the Fort Wayne Police Department and everyone here at Animal Control, and everybody at NewsChannel 15."
Synder said homeowners insurance has helped cover the cost of the merchandise that was stolen from the home. The Fort Wayne Police Department is still investigating the incident.
