A dog that was stolen from a backyard in Clifton, New Jersey, on Easter Sunday has been found safe and reunited with his family, bringing relief after days of uncertainty.

Rocky, a 7-year-old Yorkie mix, was taken from the Chan family’s back porch in a shocking incident captured on a home security camera. The footage showed a woman and a child entering the yard and grabbing the dog shortly after he had wandered outside.

Police later tracked a vehicle linked to the incident and spoke with a Newark woman believed to have taken Rocky. No charges have been filed.

After days of stress, the Chan family says they are relieved to have Rocky home and plan to celebrate his return with special treats.
