Tragically, Zeus the pit bull was stolen from his home by a family friend. The so-called family friend took off with everything of value from the home and drove it all two-thousand miles away to keep it from ever making its way back to the rightful owner. The dog’s owners just desperately wanted the dog back.

When the dog was found, they said it was unfit to fly. Because it was near Christmas, 15 kind-hearted people banded together to drive the dog the two-thousand miles back to its home in time for Christmas.

Watch the video that shows the power of community, kind hearts and the bond between a dog and its owner.

The dog made it home just in time for Christmas.
