A dog was stolen from a trucker's can while she was in the station paying for the fuel



At a truck stop outside Amarillo, Texas, Arlene Mabry, 63, a 22 yr long haul trucking vet, ran in to pay and left the driver's door open with Dutch on the seat. The fuel island camera shows a man in a ball cap climb the steps, lift Dutch out and carry the dog to a pickup. On the video Dutch keeps twisting around to see the truck.

Arlene put the picture from that camera on a truckers' page that night. Then she parked and waited.

Two days later a driver named Hollis spotted a heeler tied to a fence at a rest area outside Oklahoma City, 260 miles east. He was headed the wrong way. So he handed Dutch up to a driver going west, and that driver handed the dog to another one in Elk City.

The third truck pulled into the Amarillo truck stop a little after midnight.

Dutch came down the steps of a stranger's cab, crossed the lot and went straight up into Arlene's.
