San Antonio — An Alaskan husky's wild weekend ended on a happy note Monday. The San Antonio Humane Society says that a dog that had been stolen and then returned in the span of two days had found a forever home.
The humane society shared a photo of Hedge-Hog with his new owner and wrote that it was "love at first sight."
Hedge-Hog was stolen from the shelter on Saturday but was then was returned on the next morning.
The SA Humane Society said the couple that was caught on camera stealing the blonde Alaskan Husky returned him at the shelter's front doors on Sunday and promptly left the scene.
The shelter was asking for the public's help on Saturday after a 9-month-old puppy was taken from their shelter that afternoon.
Staff at the shelter said that the couple came in around 12:40 p.m. asking to see a blonde Alaskan Husky named Hedge-Hog.
"They presented themselves as typical adopters," said Aaron Grady, director of operations at the Humane Society. "Staff members did the typical rundown on the dog’s personality and handed Hedge-Hog over."
Grady said that it was about 20-30 minutes later when staff realized that the couple took off.
"They work a lot with pets and so they get attached, and their mission is to find them good homes and when they're not able to do that, they take it hard, especially in a circumstance like this where there is a lot of unknowns,” Grady said.
The shelter's cameras captured the couple and the car they drove off in. The staff hoped someone would recognize the dog or the couple.
