Update: Images of the family reuniting below:
Here's a sad story with a happy ending.
An 8-year-old chihuahua who was reported stolen over the summer was found in a Tenderloin dumpster this week, wounded and in shock. The good news is the pup has been treated and is ready to go home.
According to the Animal Care& Control, Lucille Williams had reported Kaley stolen in August; it was especially troubling since Kaley wasn't just a family member, she was also an assistance dog. On Saturday, three months after the pup was reported stolen, Animal Care& Control retrieved the dog from a dumpster, where she was found suffering from eight broken ribs and head trauma.
Kaley was transported to the ACC emergency veterinary hospital where she's been getting round-the-clock medical care since. Vets were able to track down Williams since Kaley has a microchip' they say she's well enough to go home.
