A heartbroken family have been miraculously reunited with their stolen puppy - who was found 170 miles away. Mother-of-three Sophie Dann was horrified when a man who claimed he had come to view their puppy in Gloucestershire on December 30 suddenly grabbed the six-week-old Labrador pup and drove off. Her partner managed to track the thief down through Facebook to Huntingdon - leading Sophie to contact Cambridgeshire Police. The force rescued the puppy just 12 hours after its owners got in touch with the information they'd found - and picked him up 170 miles from its home in the Ramsey area of Cambridgeshire. 'I ended up going down nine different Facebook groups, and drove three hours there and back to get him home.'
