A Monmouth County man has been reunited with his dog, more than a year after the pet was stolen from his car.

The dog-napping happened in Virginia when the owner was on vacation.

A few days ago, the Yorkie was taken in as a stray by Richmond Animal Care and Control.

The dog's microchip showed its owner lived in Wall Township. The owner wasn't able to drive to Virginia, so volunteers from the shelter drove the dog to New Jersey on Thursday, where they were finally reunited.
