Dedham Police reunite family with stolen 8-week-old puppy

DEDHAM, Mass. — Dedham Police have reunited a family with their stolen 8-week-old pit bull puppy that was apparently taken from a home on Bussey Street following a break and entering Sunday, October 10.

The Dedham Police Department confirmed officers received a call at 8:20 p.m. from a resident claiming that when they returned home after leaving for a short period of time, they saw signs of forced entry in the rear of the home and found that many items, including their 8-year-old puppy, were missing.

When officers arrived, they searched the area and determined whoever forced entry into the home left the scene. The items stolen include jewelry, cash, footwear, documents, and a 2015 Honda CRF450R dirt bike. Police describe the dirt bike as having a dual exhaust, pro taper rear sprocket, rental bars, and red and black grips.

The puppy is described as brindle in color with a white chest, small amounts of white on her snout, white on her back left paw, and brown eyes. On Tuesday evening, police said they had located the puppy in Quincy and reunited her with the family.

“She was picked up wandering the streets and brought to a shelter,” police said in a tweet.

If anyone knows further details regarding this incident, they can contact Detective Gonski at (781) 326-1212. The incident remains under investigation at this time.
