West Michigan Family Reunited with Runaway Dog After Stranger Gave Him Away [Video]

A family in Whitehall has been reunited with their shih tzu Dexter!

Last week the dog dashed out the back out door and was found by a woman, who then gave Dexter away to strangers.

WZZM-13 reports that Dexter snuck out of his family's home last Tuesday. A woman driving by found him on Michillinda Road. She had the right idea at first, bringing Dexter to animal control at Pound Buddies. But, once she got there, instead of handing over the pup, she gave Dexter to some strangers shopping for a pet. She didn't get their names.

Dexter's family, the Webergs, posted pictures of him online, hoping to get him back. Bad Boy Bail Bonds Fugitive Recovery and Investigations of Muskegon volunteered their services to find the dog.

Yesterday, Bad Boy Bail Bonds posted to their Facebook page that Dexter had been found safely and reunited with this family!

Dexter made it home safely and is now with his family, thanks for all the shares and likes to help us get him back to his owners. We really appreciate it!"

The Webergs are working with the family who took in Dexter to help them find a dog of their own.
