A German shepherd stolen from a South Dakota police officer has turned up on the streets of Minneapolis, reports the Associated Press.

Police say 4-month-old Poppy had been missing since Sept. 30 when electronic devices were stolen from the Aberdeen, SD, officer’s home. The Aberdeen American News says a Minneapolis resident found the dog and used social media to try to find its owner. An 18-year-old Eden Prairie, MN, man has been charged with burglary and other counts.

Aberdeen police arranged for Poppy to be picked up Sunday. The puppy belongs to Officer Briston Bruce, who is on medical leave with a brain tumor.
