They found Kobe!!!!
 

BALTIMORE (WJZ) ― After days of searching, it's a happy reunion for pooch and pet owner.

As Gigi Barnett explains, the remarkable reunion may have been captured on tape.

A simple message on a box: "His name is Kobe, the lost dog from TV. See that he gets home. Sorry!!!"

Inside, workers at Falls Road Animal Hospital found a five-year-old Yorkshire Terrier, wearing a grey and purply argyle sweater.

"Very friendly and he was shaking a lot, so he was nervous," said receptionist Danielle Council.

That's exactly how Lisa Anderson described her missing pet on flyers and to police. She searched for days after someone snatched Kobe from her car while she shopped at Arundel Mills Mall on Monday.

"I felt sick. I felt empty inside. I haven't eaten. I couldn't eat anything. It was the fact that I didn't know his fate. That was the part that scared me the most," Anderson said.

That's until police called late Friday night.

"They said they may have my dog and they may have dropped him off at an animal hospital," Anderson said. "I didn't hear anything else after that."

When she arrived, it was her Kobe, the same missing pet featured on Eyewitness News.

"You guys were the ones who were actually able to link it because he was in Baltimore the whole time," she said. "This is my kid and I love him so much and I take care of him like he was a little human."

Anderson says whomever dropped her dog off at Falls Road Animal Hospital may have been captured on surveillance video.

"I don't want to see that. The only thing that matters to me is that I got my dog back. They possibly have their own reasons. Maybe someone is lonely and they wanted a pet," she said.

Anderson says the next step for Kobe is a visit to the vet to make sure he's OK.

Just finished reading a sad story, this really lifted my spirits...At least this Kobe has a happy ending, or beginning.......

Oh I'm so glad he's home!!! I read the story the other day and hoped that he would be OK and that someone didn't steal him to sell him, since they left her purse in the car.
I guess they actually had a conscience.

:aimeeyorkI am sooo happy you have your baby back!!! After reading story after story of Yorkies getting stolen, lost, missing etc, I will never leave my babygirl alone in a car , not even to pump my gas! I make sure if she is going with me (and she usually does) that I gas up ahead of time and make sure I dont have to stop anywhere on the way! It's just too risky these days!:animal-pa

I'm so happy they found Kobe!!!!!! Sometimes good things happen!!!! Happy for the family too!

Who is Kobe?

Kobe is a yorkie that was stolen out of his owners car at Arundel Mills Mall in Maryland. I heard the story on the news and posted on the site last week. Thank god, he was returned yesterday!!

jlafred..his is not my baby...if he was he would had NEVER been left in the car...nothing in the mall is that important!!!

So glad they found him

I'm so happy the dog is safe at home!
