A Purloine puppy is now back in his Mesquite home

Steve Norris figured his family would need a cute lap dog so he bought his wife, Marcia, a little Chihuahua for Christmas back in 2007. His wife named the little dog Willy. 3 months later, her husband Steve died of heart attack.

Marcia Norris said that she believes Steve had an intuition and knew that she’d need somebody to get her by and that dog was it. She had a tough time after the death of her husband and so she moved, together with Willy, to Texas from Florida hoping to start fresh.

She found a job and the two moved to a Mesquite apartment on a Sunday. Two days later, she found Willy was let out of his crate. Well, Willy was missing, so is his crate and so was their TV, jewelry, computer and their wedding band. She was robbed but what pained her the most was not with losing her belongings but because Willy was gone too.

She asked for help from the police and animal control. She described her dog has a red collar. It’s the same dog that was spotted in north of Oak Cliff whose pictures were posted through Craigslist. The Mesquite shelter was alerted by somebody who saw the ad and saw the emails circulating from the animal control and Norris was informed about it.

Norris then knew her dog was found and a day later, the two were reunited. Thanks to Craigslist for making it easier to spot ads such as this one that helps reunite people and animals when it could have been a lot harder without.
