The St. Bernard Parish Sheriff’s Office has reunited a 17-year-old toy poodle back with her owner after she was stolen five days ago.
Fannie Mae, the toy poodle who is partially blind and completely deaf, was returned Saturday morning after a Good Samaritan found her and called the number on the flier.
Capt. Ryan Melerine and Fannie Mae’s owners met the Good Samaritan and they were given their reward.
“We’re grateful to everyone who shared Fannie’s story and stayed alert,” Sheriff Pohlmann said. “Sometimes it takes all of us working together, and this is exactly what the St. Bernard community is all about.”
According to Sheriff James Pohlman, Shanda Norton, 35, was arrested on June 11 and charged with theft of a motor vehicle, vandalism, theft, and cruelty to animals.
Norton stole the victim’s car in Chalmette with Fannie Mae inside on Monday, June 9 before abandoning her in the Lower Ninth Ward.
