A U.S. Army veteran in New York City was celebrating the return of his service dog after a couple of attackers stole the animal nearly a month ago, the service member told Fox News on Monday. Army Ranger Robert Lebron, who served in Afghanistan, said he “was attacked from behind” while taking his 8-month-old service dog, Mala, on a walk on Mother’s Day in the Bronx. He said an anonymous hero returned the dog, so he quickly posted a picture on Instagram to say thank you. “There are people even donating gift baskets for her with toys, food and clothes.”MILITARY SERVICE DOG, HANDLER REUNITED AFTER 3 YEARS APARTLebron also said he got Mala a tracking chip so he wouldn't lose his dog again.
