World War II Veteran Reunites With Beloved Pet Chihuahua

The dog had been stolen from the man's front yard and missing for four days.

A World War II veteran reunited with his beloved pet chihuahua Saturday after the pooch was stolen from his front yard.

Roger LeClair said he was devastated when Lola, who has been with him for 12 years, went missing from his Downey home on Wednesday. 

"She's my constant companion," LeClair said.

LeClair said Lola was lying in the sun, which she likes to do, when a woman picked her up and drove away, telling a neighborhood boy that she was taking Lola to the vet.

On Saturday, a woman returned Lola, saying she found the dog wandering around a nearby schoolyard.

LeClair said he was thankful to everyone who helped get the word out about his missing dog.
