Family reunited with stolen dog
ALBANY, Ore. (AP) — A dog stolen from an Albany family has been returned, but their pet python won't be coming back.
The Albany Democrat-Herald reported Friday a woman found Jazzy the Chihuahua outside her apartment and called police. The dog was returned Thursday to the family of David and Casey Stradley.
Police say 39-year-old Blaze McCormick of Brownsville remains in custody, charged with theft and burglary.
The pets were taken Monday.
David Stradley said the former friend recently broke up with an acquaintance and was acting vindictively.
But the reunion with Jazzy wasn't completely joyful, as the 7-year-old boy son Gajen hung his head and cried.
On Tuesday, his ball python, Killer, was found dead in a plastic bag on a sidewalk.
David Stradley assured the boy he would get another snake.

What is so big about this story? Yeah glad they got there dog back but my mother-in-laws dog was stolen & it didn't make news and a couple weeks later one of our employees dogs was stolen and it once again didn't make news.
Â
Where I am trying to get at is why was this any different then any other stolen dog?
Â
And yes both dogs were found a few days later.
