I wanted to share some amazing new: Dora has been returned!
The last few days have been a blur, but the support from this community was a massive light in a dark time. Whether you shared the post, kept an eye out during your commute, or just sent kind words, it made a difference.
The owners so relieved to have the family back together and really would like to offer the deepest Thank You to this community and the Mods!! 🙏
Dora is currently quite tired but still very much her playful self

Details on how she was found:
Police received a lead overnight, that lead them to finding the residence of the girl in the photo, and this morning they found her and Dora located there.

Please tell me there will be charges against the thief . And a reminder to anyone never leave your dog tied up outside anywhere not even for a second – it’s just not worth it too many awful people
Yay!
I’m so relieved for beautiful Dora, hope your friend is doing okay.
Hurray! Great news!
WOOOHOOOO
Such good news!!!! Thanks for the update
Wonderful news. Hugging my babies with joy and gratitude. Much love to Dora and family.
Great work to the legend who put the tip in 🏆
Finally some good news
Bloody excellent
Fuck yes
Hope that despicable woman gets what’s coming to her.
Oh, Dora! So glad you were rescued and found your way home!
Yussss!
Wonderful news
What punishment is suitable for the crime? Anyone here a legal head and have an idea what’s on the books for something like this?
Yes!!! I’m so happy for the owners! Really hope the person that took Dora gets punished accordingly
And what about the shit stains that stole her?
Wonderful news!
Thanks also for posting the details on how she was found as I’m sure many would have been wondering otherwise.
Now we just need to know what that silly girl was thinking and what suitable punishment will be applied.
Dora no longer the Explorer 🙂
Oh this is just wonderful! So happy for you all. Enjoy all those lovely cuddles 🥰
OMG 😭😭😭🎉

Dora the unparticipating explorer is back, hurrah!
YES THIS MADE MY DAY
Awesome – I’ve two black cavoodles, and yep, it’s impossible to take a nicely lit photo of them 😄 Glad to hear your black void is home safe 👍
Such good news!
I’m so happy to read this. I have a little “Dora” too, and would be absolutely broken if this happened to her. Let’s hope the punishment fits the crime.
The best kind of update! This also just goes to show the power of a community. Without this getting attention and the police receiving a tip, poor Dora would still be with strangers
this has made my WEEK 🥹
This is awesome, best news I’ve heard in a long time. There are some disgusting humans out there and this was a low, scumbag act (There are so many words I could use to describe this pathetic life form)
I really hope she gets heavily penalised. I’m sure with her image being so publicly available, the general public will make sure she doesn’t go unpunished.
What a massive win for the Dora’s owners.
It sounds extreme but that thief who is apparently 19 needs to go to prison for 6 months and maybe think about who she associates with. I don’t care if it was a drunken dare or what she was thinking. Yes it will ruin the rest of her life. Actions have consequences.
Community service won’t do anything to reform someone like this. Locking them up might. Take away their benefits and lock them up.
You’re very fortunate police acted.
Once upon a long time ago my young drug dealing neighbours appeared with a new dog. A Samoyed with a beautiful fresh haircut. About the same time a young couple posted on Facebook absolutely distraught because they’d lost their dog walking at the local park and posted a photo of a Samoyed with the same beautiful fresh haircut.
I contacted the young couple to let them know where their dog was and also the police who refused to do anything because they couldn’t check the microchip.
In the end the dog was able to be reunited with its owners but it took weeks and dumb luck, not the police.
