After five days, a Chicago family's missing service dog has been found.
The 3-year-old dog, SymPhany, was reunited Thursday with JoBeana Perry and her 10-year-old daughter, NeVaeh.
"I'm so excited," NeVaeh Perry said.
NeVaeh suffers from Type 1 diabetes and seizures, and SymPhany is trained to alert the family if the girl's blood sugar is too low or high during the night.
The dog also helped JoBeana Perry, who was hit by car while riding a motorcycle three years ago, learn to walk without a cane.
"Anything is possible," Perry said before reuniting with SymPhany. "All you have to do is pray and believe and stand on your faith."
The family believes someone stole the dog Sunday from a yard at their South Side home at East 80th Street and Escanaba Avenue.
A man saw the dog running on the side of the street and coaxed SymPhany into his car. He contacted police, and the pup was reunited with its family.
