Thank you for rescuing Benny

Carolyn and I would like to thank the Freeborn County Sheriff’s Office, deputies and dispatcher for getting our stolen car and dog returned to us Thursday evening, Feb. 19. The car with Benny in it was stolen from our business in Hayward. Everyone at the department went above and beyond to find the car and — more importantly — our little Yorkie, Benny.

Benny would have frozen to death in Thursday night’s extreme cold, however, the deputies convinced the carjacker to tell them that Benny was dumped out at Bridge and Marshall, and with that information we were able to locate him on Marshall Street. We estimate Benny had been under a car for about an hour with the temperature at 5 above zero.

Thank you, Freeborn County Sheriff’s Office for the quick action. Benny and the car are safely home.
