From Friday's Washington Post:
It began Monday as a bizarre tale of dognapping in a genteel section of Takoma Park, culminated yesterday in a homecoming worthy of a Disney picture, and now, as details of a purebred poodle's return to his loving owner trickle in, stands as a real head-scratcher.
...........
Why did two young men, possibly armed, assault a 69-year-old former Takoma Park City Council member in his own yard with no other goal, evidently, than to nab his daughter's toy poodle?
And then, about 12:45 a.m. Thursday, Storm appeared in Northwest Washington, at 14th and Madison streets, about two miles from home.
Danaj Edmond and Beth Andraise Scott were driving home from the 9:30 club in a van when Edmond spotted Storm shivering in the median. They picked him up, afraid he would die in the cold, and drove him home. The next day, when Edmond showed up late to work at NBC News in Washington, where she is a desk assistant, she explained why: She had found a poodle the night before and had to buy food for him.
She showed her colleagues photos she had taken for fliers to be posted in the area where Storm was found.
Someone asked whether she had watched the news the night before, saying the dog looked like one that had been stolen.
