KENNER, La. (AP) — With smiles, tears of joy and lots of licking, a Yorkshire terrier picked up as a stray in Iowa was reunited Wednesday with the 14-year-old girl from whom he was stolen in 2012.
Karisa Lambert was in tears when an animal control worker from Cedar Rapids, Iowa, handed the little brown dog to her at New Orleans' international airport as television cameras rolled and bystanders took cellphone videos.
"I'm so very excited to have Sam back," she said as she and her parents, Thomas and Donille Lambert of Bridge City, left the airport.
Thomas Lambert said his brother gave Sam to Karisa when she was 4 years old. The dog disappeared in June or July 2012 from their back yard, which is surrounded by woods in a rural part of the New Orleans suburb.
