A dog stolen from its owners and nearly dragged to death earlier this week was back home Friday.

Sadie was home and loving every minute of it. Brittany King and her brothers are just glad she's alright. "I feel pretty relieved, I feel pretty happy." Brittany and Sadie have grown close in their four years together. So when Sadie was missing Wednesday, Brittany feared the worst.

It's still not known who's responsible for dragging the animal later that morning. A number of calls made to 911 reported the 1-year-old female rottweiller mix chained to the back of a car and being dragged from 40th and Ames to 38th and Paxton Boulevard. The only description of the vehicle is it was a small, two-door, blue car.

As the Kings watched the news, they recognized their dog. "When we saw her on the news in spite of what happened to her, it was a big relief that we could get her back and she'll heal," said Brittany's mother Stacy. Sadie and the Kings were reunited Friday afternoon. With her tail wagging, Sadie knew she was now safe. "It was pretty disturbing to know that somebody could do that." Sadie will be fine, but her injuries are still raw. "Her entire body is going to be sore."

The humane society vets are giving the family the medicines Sadie needs and they'll check on her from time to time, but within the next week, Sadie could be walking without pain. "Need to make sure they keep Sadie's pads clean over the next seven days so we don't have any infection starting," said Dr. Amber Horn with the Nebraska Humane Society. Sadie's probably very happy to be getting her treatments at home, where she'll be under the watchful eyes of the entire family. "Don't understand how somebody could do that to your pet, but also I hope that they do get found and they do serve their consequences for it," said Brittany. The humane society is offering a reward of up to $1,000 for information leading to an arrest. Anyone with information about this case is asked to call 444-7800, extension 1. You may remain anonymous.
