Roland the dachshund reunited with owner after burglars snatch him from Manchester home
A miniature dachshund puppy snatched from a home in Manchester has been reunited with his owner.
The five-month-old sausage dog called Roland was stolen from a woman's house, along with her car and handbag, as she slept upstairs.
Two men were captured on CCTV at around 5:39am on Monday 4 October before the burglary on Randolph Street in Levenshulme.
With the help of Beauty's Legacy - a group which helps reunite lost animals with their owners - Roland was found.
Lisa Dean, who runs the charity, said: "Following the release of CCTV footage and various witnesses coming forward, we had a phone call from a member of the public and the dog was recovered from a property in Rochdale yesterday evening. "
Roland's owner, who asked not to be named, said: "I am overwhelmed with how kind and helpful everyone has been.
"Thousands of people have tried to get him back. Lisa has been an absolute angel. I would not have got him back if it was not for her.
"It was surreal seeing him again. He ran over and started licking my face.
