Missing Dog, Believed to be Stolen, Found Safe

The German Shepard that went missing on Tuesday morning and police believed may have been stolen, has been found safe.

Marblehead police released few details on Tuesday afternoon about the circumstances surrounding her return home, but said in a Facebook post that the dog was “ located a couple streets from her home safe and sound.”

Police had said Tuesday morning that the dog, named Ivy, was outside her Beacon Street home when her owner heard her bark and looked outside to find her gone. The owner told police they believed Ivy may have been stolen because they saw “a spray of dirt” in the yard as if a vehicle had “peeled out.”

“Her owners thank everyone for their cooperation in trying to find her,” police said. “We at the police department also thank you for your assistance in trying to locate her.”
