After a harrowing several hours, a West Kelowna woman was reunited with her pet that was taken after her vehicle was allegedly stolen from outside a store. 

Tuesday afternoon, a woman named Jill said she had her vehicle stolen outside of London Drugs in West Kelowna, and while shocked and annoyed, the real concern was that her dog Gary had been inside at the time. 

Several hours later the vehicle was later recovered in a vineyard off Boucherie Road but Gary was not inside, sparking widespread concern and a determined search.

The breakthrough came when a compassionate community member spotted Gary running in the cold and reached out to the Okanagan Humane Society for help.  Dedicated OHS dog rescue volunteer Shannon Galliivan jumped into action.
