New Jersey Boy With Muscular Dystrophy Reunited With Dog, Brownie

PATERSON, N.J. (CBSNewYork) – A story CBS2 shared earlier this week now has a happy ending.

A New Jersey boy, 7, battling muscular dystrophy has been reunited with his lost puppy.

The 7-month-old Shih Tzu named Brownie disappeared Saturday from the family's backyard in Paterson.

Jacob Rodriguez and his mom, Jazmine Crespo, made a desperate plea for the puppy's safe return.

On Tuesday night, Brownie was found underneath a parked car. He was cold and whimpering, but otherwise OK.
