Traffic stop leads to recovery of stolen dog
Spread the love

In July 2015, a German shepherd named Harley was stolen from his family’s backyard in Baltimore, Maryland – this month, he was recovered during a traffic stop in Howard County. On March 29, the Howard County Police Department shared the PFC Sarah Miller’s story about Harley’s remarkable recovery:

Last weekend was a little busy so I didn’t have a chance to share this story: I recovered a German Shepherd during a traffic stop on Sunday morning after the occupants claimed they found him running in the road in Baltimore. I had the vehicle towed, due to reasons surrounding the stop, and AC (Howard County Animal Control and Adoption Center) came and got the German Shepherd and scanned it for a microchip.

The chip had up-to-date information and Harley’s owner was reached by phone – she told the officer that she had never stopped searching for her stolen dog.

Officer Miller explained how Harley had almost been an actual police K9:

“He was initially a police dog in training with a Carroll County sheriff. When he was a puppy the Sheriff’s deputy got injured seriously and wasn’t able to continue his training. So this owner actually purchased him from the Carroll county sheriff and had him from the age of about 6 mos old to 2 years old before he was taken. I was able to meet her, and her family, at Animal Control last night to see the reunion.  🐾  They were soooooo happy and it felt great to be able to help them 😊”

  1. Wow, I guess you never know do you? For some reason, that car was meant to be stopped and towed and Harley was meant to be found. Always love a happy ending.

  2. GREAT STORY! Thank you PFC Sarah Miller for rescuing Harley – AND microchips work! So glad he was reunited with his family and I hope there are charges pending against those who took him.
