A thrilled family have been reunited with their dog after it was stolen more than a year ago by an evil thief who battered the poor pup.
Beloved Paris, a five-year-old Dogue de Bordeaux, was nicked during a burglary in Cornwall. Her heartbroken family had all but given up hope of seeing the pup again.
But incredibly the dog was found in Croydon, 300 miles from where she was taken. The family received the call on April 21 to say the dog had been found in Croydon.
She was at a rescue centre, where they had scanned her microchip and traced her back to Martin. She had been taken from a man who had been neglecting and beating her.
