Show Dogs, Pickup Recovered
Wyoming Owners Reunited With Border Collies

AURORA, Colo. -- There was a happy reunion overnight for a Wyoming couple who had their pickup stolen along with their four border collies.

The show dogs were in crates in the back of a pickup owned by Jim and Patti Chant when it was stolen from a parking lot format the Ramada Plaza Convention Center in Northglenn on Sunday. The dogs had competed Friday and Saturday at the Western Stock Show.

Jim Chant is the superintendent of Northwest Stock Show Cattledog Herding Competition.

Officers from the Aurora Police pattern crime unit were on patrol, looking for stolen vehicles, when they recognized the truck in a hotel parking lot near the airport Monday night.

"I had a lot of doubts iI would never see them again. It was just so frightening," said owner Patti Chant. "I'm just so happy. It's just so hard to believe,"

Despite being hungry and cold, the dogs were not injured. Police said they believe media attention to the case forced the thieves to abandon the truck and the animals.
