Detroit Reporter Follows Her Instincts To Track Down A Stolen Puppy

There is something incredibly special about the deep bond that exists between humans and dogs. When you look at a dog, you can just see the unconditional love and trust that they radiate.

That’s why it’s so baffling and heartbreaking to me when I hear about animals found in situations of abuse or neglect, and why it’s such a relief when those same animals find their way to forever homes, like in the case of this sweet pup who went from heartache to a happy adoption!

Nothing makes me happier than knowing an animal is happy and safe in a loving home. Unfortunately, there are some criminals out there who deliberately separate dogs from their families, like the notorious dog-flippers who steal dogs and try to upsell them to new owners.

It’s hard to imagine anything worse, but that’s the tragic reality that Detroit resident Nasim Rayyan faced when he discovered that his home had been ransacked during a home invasion. The household’s valuables were all gone, including Nasim’s 5-month-old rescued pit bull puppy, Watney. He guessed that thieves planned to sell the pup to a dog-fighting ring.

He despaired of ever seeing his beloved dog again, and was distraught worrying about what might happen to him. Then, a local news reporter got involved in the search, and her hunt led her to a valuable tip… Where that clue led the investigation? Watch the tearful moment that followed below.
