SAN FRANCISCO — A California couple and their Yorkshire terrier are together again after the dog was stolen last week in San Francisco, authorities said.
FINAL UPDATE: It’s Leo! Jacqueline is of course thrilled and said to me “I’m at a loss for words”.

According to KGO-TV, Jacqueline Zavala Lee and Refugio Zavala, both of Stockton, were celebrating their 12th anniversary in San Francisco on Thursday night and briefly left their 10-year-old Yorkshire terrier, Leo, in their parked car.
”When they returned, they found that an unknown suspect had broken a window and stolen Leo, who was in a soft, nylon-style dog carrier,” San Francisco police said in a Facebook post. ”The suspect(s) also stole a suitcase.”

Zavala Lee was devastated.
”My heart just plummeted,” she told KGO. ”I literally feel like a part of my heart is gone. I’m worried about him.”
Police and Zavala Lee took to social media Friday to share photos of the missing Yorkie. Just two days later, police tracked down Leo and retrieved him about 2 p.m. Sunday, Bay City News reported.
The owners’ reunion with their dog was captured in a heartwarming video.
