A family in Melbourne, Australia, came home one day to find their home had been ransacked.
Their iPads, passports, and a laptop were gone — and so was Sasha, who is their 8-week-old Lab and their 4-year-old daughter Maia's best friend.
Naturally, the electronics and the passports took a back seat to finding Sasha.
Maia was heartbroken. Her dad said that days later she was still upset and said she could "still smell the dog...Every night of the last week she and the dog have fallen asleep together in the dog's bed."
After an appeal across social media and in the news, Maia and her family woke up one morning to a surprise — Sasha was back, roaming their backyard.
"We think that whoever took her has either has a conscience or got scared and just dropped her over the fence ... we don't care to be honest, we're just glad to have her back," Maia's dad said.
Police are still investigating the robbery, and they're just as mystified about Sasha's return as Maia's family is.
"It's a bit of a strange one. It's difficult to understand what they were thinking," a spokesman said. But clearly Maia and her family are just happy that they're all together again.
