Paralyzed man reunited with therapy dog | www.wsbtv.com

SAN LEANDRO, Calif. — There was a happy ending in the search for a stolen service dog in California.
Arthur Renowitzkyi says his dog, Love, has given him emotional strength since he was shot, robbed and paralyzed outside a club seven years ago.
Someone snatched Love, a toy poodle, earlier this week while Renowitzkyi was busy getting out of his car at a park in San Leandro.
The theft sparked a campaign for Love's return, with one of Renowitzkyi's friends offering a $5,000 reward.
Meanwhile, Daymond Dixon, a disabled garbage truck driver, had purchased Love in a Walmart parking lot in Oakland for $375. He said he bought the dog, which he thought was a puppy, for his aunt, whose dog recently died after being hit by a car.
"And I saw this guy on the news and that's when I called my auntie and told her we have to take this guy his dog," Dixon said.
Dixon returned the dog, refusing the reward and Renowitzkyi's offer to reimburse him the money he paid for Love

There is a great video to go along with the story. Stories like this help you keep the faith that there are still some good people in the world.
