@@suzannebuckles296Some people are just crazy selfish!

@@jjradV Yes, he does! God has his reasons for these horrible things, and we are here to learn from them and it make it better!

What a beautiful and hopeful story - such a sweet and gentle dog, and the way he kept looking back as that dirtbag was dragging Rags away from his home was heartbreaking. And he’s deaf - poor Rags - I’m so happy he’s home safe!
Bless him he looks worn out…. It’s a sad society we live in now just lock your doors when your home and no one can get in … glad you have your pooch back ❤
Grateful for the police department that found darling Rags and returned him to his mom. What a gorgeous dog. May 2025 be a year of hope, good health, and happiness for animals everywhere, and for the law enforcement community. 💘
I am so happy her dog was found. How crazy for the dog to have been moved so far away. I don’t understand stealing dogs when there are so many waiting for homes in shelters across the US.
Stories like this just amaze me. I can only imagine the stories Rags would tell if he could talk. Im so happy he's back home. There was a woman in Vegas that lost her dog 9 years ago and just got him back earlier this year. Dogs are amazing creatures.
I have a pure bred rare breed dog (female) and I live in a city where crime is heavily controlled but even then, pure breds disappear and are sold in neighboring countries. We have 4 gates in our outdoor area and we never ever leave her (or our Labrador) outdoors (if we are asleep or out for work etc.). Never never never. Dogs are like children and must be protected.
@@SugarMollyHazel You can get a good tracking device installed in your dog’s collar. Low cost and easy to use with your phone like the one we have on our dog Seamus. A little bigger than a quarter and you get exactly the location of your dog at any given time through the phone app.
Why in the heck would you leave your front door unlocked? Smart enough to install a ring camera yet leaves door unlocked. Smarten up people. Seems to me the guy knew exactly what he was after
They're not naming suspects------but I suspect that that young man was her roommate or boyfriend. I don't think that she would have left her door open, unless she was expecting someone. I suspect that that's how Rags was found-----she knew who kidnapped him.
There are other videos about it. The original owner rehomed him to this woman. Later, they tried to get him back from her, even suing, but she was the rightful owner and he was safe and happy. The thief and the people in Arizona who had him are related to the original dirtbags who sold him and then tried to get him back. Bananas.
I’m just super happy that this lady has her dog back home safely because of the microchip that made it possible to identify her beloved pup. Having said that, I do hope she has learned a lifetime lesson about no matter where you live, never leave your animals unattended or even leave your doors/windows open !
The family that originally owned the dog rehomed him to this woman. Later, they tried to take him back, but he was happy and his new family didn't want to relinquish him. The people who had him in Arizona were related to the original family and the thief. Rotten people.
@@SheilaR.08One has to wonder why didn't the original owners give him to the people hiding to start with if they wanted him so bad they would steal him from across the country. Very strange.
How did a "stranger" get into the house and take the dog? They had to know about the dog. She must have known the person at some point. Did she leave the door unlocked, was she not home? Too many questions about this story.
There are lots of news stories about this. The thief is affiliated with the dog's previous owners, as are the people in Arizona who had him. They had rehomed him to this woman, then later, tried to take him back. I'm getting backyard breeders vibes.
Why are you assume that’s not her dog? Are you there? Do you know her? No, you don’t don’t falsely accused. That’s not her dog. Don’t act like you know everything.
The story does not make any sense. I get the feeling that some ex-boyfriend came and took the dog. How would a stranger know what kind of dog lives there and whether it is pure bred, etc. Did sheleave the door unlocked or was she home when the dog was abducted? Too many questions...
In another story, the person who took the dog was related to her or knew her. They haven't clarified the relationship and how they magically got a tip about the dog in Arizona.
He had to have known her and been in her house before. He knew the door would be unlocked and knew where Rags would be in the house. It seemed like Rags knew him by the way his tail was wagging.
There's a back story that is interesting. Wrong, but interesting. The dog was allegedly with people who had him prior and apparently gave him up. I can't find that story but I know it's out there. I'm glad he's back in his home.
Lock your doors even if you are home. The people who took the dog knew the original owners who tried to sue this owner when they changed their mins about giving up the dog. There is much more to the story.
This happened to my sister and her family. Their dog disappeared and an entire year later after a hurricane the fire department called her and said they found her dog
Over a year is a long time to be kidnapped. He is beautiful. I wonder how the police knew it was your dog after all that time? Great job to those police officers.
OMG!!!!!! 😱 I always lock my front door, even when I am home, & many think I am being paranoid. The audacity of this person doing this, is simply astounding! No doubt they had no idea this beautiful dog was deaf, so very difficult to bond with him I imagine, after such a traumatic experience for him. God Bless these wonderful law enforcement officers! I look forward to hearing about how they found him.
They sure are pretty quiet about who walked into her house and took that puppy. I hope he is charged with everything they can charge him with - break and enter, burglary, endangering the animal or neglect - and I hope he does time. Way to go MPD for continuing to investigate and finding this dog!! They deserve high praise for what sounds like a very difficult case!!
That poor dog! I have a special needs dog, too! I would be heartbroken if someone took my dog. I hope they prosecute that low-life to the fullest extent of the law! God Bless all of you!
To Rags' owner - why don't you lock your front door? Were you even at home when he was taken right out of your house? I'm very glad that Rags was located and returned to you!
Absolutely great police & detective work! Charges...breaking & entering; theft, causing mental distress...and hopefully enough to get those involved locked up - not probation or community service. This was a planned serious crime & needs to be prosecuted as such.
That poor dog knew his kidnapper! Hope the police charge and prosecute the person who stole this dog and put the owner through such emotional trauma.
For sure. A friend or somebody that is regular in the house
Absolutely. There's definitely more to this story on a personal level.
I'd like to know why they wanted to take this dog. it seems like a lot of effort and I'm certainly glad that rags is back where he belongs
It didn't look like the dog knew them at all! He looked very upset to me, struggling to get away from him.

The most heartbreaking last look at his home before being taken away against his will 😢💔

@gabrielagaleazzi4716 so you have learned and don't abuse animals ? Are you vegan ?
Yes, microchip your dog, but also lock your doors. It looked like the thief just walked in.
YES!… What was that about? 👀 NOT locking her door?…
What era?… and… Where does she think she lives?…
“Mayberry 1955” ??? 🥴
Soooooooooooo happy he's home.

That makes me so sad the way he looks back like help me!!! 😢😢😢
i agree that was heartbreaking!

Great job Maricopa County Sheriff’s Dept!!!! Made Az proud!
Grateful for the police department that found darling Rags and returned him to his mom. What a gorgeous dog. May 2025 be a year of hope, good health, and happiness for animals everywhere, and for the law enforcement community. 💘
❤
Amen!
The Maricopa police are very good
He looks tired and happy. Those guys were awesome and he sure appreciated being rescued.
Those officers looked so happy ! After all they do each day finally a happy ending !!!
A wonderful "win/win" for the Officers! 🎉
The Maricopa police department is a very good department
Miracle reunion!!!!
What a wonderful story about an adorable dog.
Glad you found your pup!!!
Can’t imagine having my dog stolen! She is such an important part of my life every day! Thank God those wonderful officers rescued your dog!
I’m so happy for this pup. He’s so adorable ❤
I’m so sorry for the dog and his mom for what they had to go through. God bless the police officers involved in locating her baby.❤🎉❤
I am so happy her dog was found. How crazy for the dog to have been moved so far away. I don’t understand stealing dogs when there are so many waiting for homes in shelters across the US.
Because these jerks didn't want to pay for one. So naturally, just steal someone else's! It's unbelievable how low a human can go.
So happy she got her beautiful dog back.
I’m so happy for you both ❤❤ thanks to the PDs

So happy you have him back!
I am so happy the beautiful dog is back with his family thank God for kind people who cares that this dog is safe and back with his or his owner ❤❤❤❤
And microchipping your dog does not cost that much! So happy Rags is back home! ❤️
I got mine done it was low cost
I just wished those were GPS, then a lot of pets will be found. These microchip are only good if someone got them scan, which a lot people don’t.

@@SugarMollyHazelTrue, but as in this instance, they provide legal proof of identity and ownership. That is critical for stolen dogs.
Miracles still happen 💕💥🙏
What a great story to watch on new year’s day. I love that I saw the resolution. So happy they are reunited. 🥰🇨🇦
Lock your windows and doors!!!!
My thoughts exactly!
God bless all the officers who saved Rags! You all are heroes!
Why in the heck would you leave your front door unlocked? Smart enough to install a ring camera yet leaves door unlocked. Smarten up people. Seems to me the guy knew exactly what he was after
Probably a guy she was dating or knew prior that she screwed over...
Was it you😅?@@Jay-is2jy

What a MIRACLE...brought tears to my eyes❤🎉.

I'm so happy for you and rags glad you have him back a very happy story. ❤❤😊
This is wonderful news!! ♥️
I saw the first video and have been hoping for updates. Love to see him get home. Thank you. God bless ❤
Why didn’t anybody talked about who kidnapped the dog and was he apprehended? I feel like there is more to the story.

@@SheilaR.08 thank you. I was wondering what the actual story was here.
@@SheilaR.08 thank you for the additional info.
Thank you for your great work 👮♀️ Thank you for your service!!!!
The importance of locking your doors can not be stressed enough. Glad this story ended well.
I hope they learned their lesson.Glad the dog is home.
Agree with your comment of the importance of locking your door. This could have been avoided.
Right

AMAZING! BLESSINGS!❤❤❤❤💋💋💋💋🌹🌹🌹

This is a strange story. There’s a lot of questions unanswered. I hope this dog is safe now.
The family that originally owned the dog rehomed him to this woman. Later, they tried to take him back, but he was happy and his new family didn't want to relinquish him. The people who had him in Arizona were related to the original family and the thief. Rotten people.

@@SheilaR.08 Thanks for the clarification! Theft of Rags need not have happened, if only the front door had been locked! Fer cryin' out loud!!!

That is awesome! ❤🎉
I wish dogs could talk, so this doggie can tell his mommy his story after getting taken from his home, I’m so glad this story had a happy ending ☺️🥰

This is not the whole story yet. It's a repeat of the previous story without all the details.

A family adopted him out and stole him back these were not strangers
That makes more sense... seemed like there was some sort of problem directly with the dog and the woman
Why are you assume that’s not her dog? Are you there? Do you know her? No, you don’t don’t falsely accused. That’s not her dog. Don’t act like you know everything.
@@NicolleAyorinde-gr9cc calm down

Love this happy ending story! The police were brilliant!
How on earth would ANYONE leave the entrance door unlocked ?
Beats All understanding
Hopefully the owner & All others need to be ware.

She leaves her door unlocked LOL and has a Ring doorbell. .makes sense !

Prayer does help. So very happy for you and your beautiful boy. Always chip your dogs!!!☺️
Moral of the story ...lock your doors, no matter how big your dog is.
🤦🏻♂️🗝️
I’m so glad you got him back. Not sure how the person was able to walk into your home and take him. Please keep your doors locked all the time.
🤦🏻♂️🗝️
He sure is cute. Glad he’s home. ✌🏼
I'm so happy Rags is home with mommy!
So very happy for you.❤❤
Love a happy ending 🦮
Thank goodness ❤
This was cruel,smells like custody battle. I hope this woman realizes how serious was to hurt her.
So happy for you! ❤❤❤❤
Lovely dog. I’m happy for the owner. I know not to get that kind of dog.
yay rags! many happy years ahead for you and your mama ❤
Wonderful

Over a year is a long time to be kidnapped. He is beautiful. I wonder how the police knew it was your dog after all that time? Great job to those police officers.
He was microchip. Otherwis she would have never gotten him back from the thieves.
Oh my god. L hope he pays for what he’s done!!!
OH MY FREAKING GODS! They found him!!!
That guy just walked in. You don't lock your doors? I'm glad you got your dog back. Please lock your door no matter where your at.

WHY WAS THE FRONT DOOR UNLOCKED? Are there really people in the world so entitled, that they believe no one would dare enter their home? Insanity.
They invented this new thing, it's called A KEY 🗝️!
