Andrea Taylor, Blind Kansas 5-Year-Old, Gets Stolen Therapy Dog Back (VIDEO)

A five-year-old disabled girl is all smiles today after being reunited with her beloved service dog Millie, who was stolen two weeks ago from the girl's home in Hutchinson, Kan., the Philadelphia Animal Welfare Examiner reports.

Millie was found on the front porch at around 3:30 a.m. on Thursday morning and, as soon as she was let indoors, she rushed to the bedside of her owner Andrea Taylor and tried to wake the girl up, according to the site.

"Andrea woke up and come out (sic) to the living room and said, 'There her is. It's my Millie,'" the girl's mother, Lana Taylor, told KSN News Kansas.

Andrea Taylor, who suffers from cerebral palsy and is blind, received Millie in early March and immediately bonded with the dog. Lana Taylor said that for the first time, her daughter was sleeping soundly through the night without crying.

But who steals a dog? There are millions of dogs in shelters who would love a good home.

diabolical plan to earn truly BAD KARMA than to steal a 5-year-old blind girl's therapy dog! I just don't want to be within 10 miles of that person the next time an electrical storm strikes.

I don't think people who a) steal dogs, and b) fight dogs can be guilt-tripped into anything. Those people have no compassion and are therefore devoid of feeling guilt.

If dig fighting is involved, he should be gained up and the dogs should have their way with him.
