CARJACKING REUNITED WITH OWNER THANKS TO HELP OF GOOD SAMARITAN
Friday, February 12, 2016 11:25AM
RIVERSIDE, Calif. -- A Good Samaritan reunited a dog with its owner Wednesday after a suspect stole the owner's car with the dog inside.
Donald Mittica held onto his little dog Lola, who days ago was taken during the carjacking.
It happened Monday afternoon at Tony's Tacos in San Bernardino. Mittica had finished lunch and was getting back into his car when a suspect came up to him with a knife and then took his car.
"All of the sudden an arm goes around my throat and he - I guess he had this knife," Mittica said.
The suspected carjacker was arrested later that day in Santa Ana, but there was no sign of Lola, who has become Mittica's only companion after his wife of 42 years died last year.

So glad Donald Mittica has his tiny friend back with him.
Thank goodness for the good will of random human beings when you least expect it.
