Their Old English Bulldog Was Stolen, But When Strangers Saw THIS On Facebook, My Jaw Dropped!

Their Old English Bulldog Was Stolen, But When Strangers Saw THIS On Facebook, My Jaw Dropped!

This past weekend, a blind, senior dog was stolen from her own yard — but it’s how her parents found her that serves as a lesson for every dog parent!

Virginia couple Deborah and Charlie Barnes say their 10-year-old English bulldog Penny was dognapped from their front yard. Charlie thinks that when the thieves realized Penny was blind and spayed, they dumped her.

The panicked couple began posting on social media pages, like “Search for Sassy.” Within hours, more than 100,000 people had shared the story on Facebook. People from around the world were offering advice and alerting their friends in nearby towns to keep an eye out for lost Penny.

Ultimately, a couple whom the Barnes had never met saw the Facebook posts, and took action. They went out in search of Penny and found her in the middle of a grocery store parking lot at 1.am. Penny’s paws were injured from three days of homelessness. She was helpless, covered in mud, and so terrified that she didn’t even recognize her owners — that was, until Charlie sang their special song.

Thanks to all the good Samaritans who helped this story go viral, Penny is back home, safe and sound!
