Β ROCK HILL, SC — A family in Rock Hill nearly gave up hope of finding their stolen dog, but Wednesday night, there was a happy ending.
It’s taken three years, but Emma is back home. Β A man found her running around near the Gaston County line and got her examined because she was skin and bones. Β The vet noticed she was micro-chipped, and was able to find her original owners, who reported her stolen in 2011.
“I just started crying when I saw her! Β It was so sad, cause how could you steal a dog and then not take care of it? Β At least give it a home where it’s your family,” said the dog’s owner Mary Imhof.
Emma’s owners say she does have heart worms, but is putting on weight. Β They’re glad she’s home in time for her birthday next week and are hopeful their four other stolen dogs will turn up.
