BOISE, Idaho – Minnie the miniature pinscher isn’t offering any details about her adventure, but the small dog that was inside a 71-year-old man’s Cadillac when it was stolen is safely back home.

Boise police said Thursday that Minnie showed up at her owner’s former home, where the current resident recognized her and called the owner. Dog and owner were soon reunited.

Police say the man left his car warming up early Wednesday morning, then heard it speeding away.

The vehicle was later found abandoned nearly five miles away but Minnie wasn’t inside.

Police say the owner is excited and thankful to have his dog back.
