Pablo the dog has been found safe and reunited with his family.
The 10-week-old Australian Shepherd, who was located and returned to his owners Thursday night, was one of two puppies stolen by gunpoint from his owner Wednesday afternoon within minutes of one another, according to police in Washington, D.C.
“About 30 hours after he was taken from us at gunpoint, Pablo was returned home safely,” Abby Sev, one of his owners, wrote in a TikTok after the reunion. “He’s back to his usual hungry, playful, puppy self.”
