\n

That\u2019s a relief \u2014\u00a0no bones about it!<\/p>\n

A Minnesota war veteran was reunited with his beloved \u201cbest friend\u201d and therapy dog after his car was swiped with her inside, according to police.<\/p>\n

Ladybug, a sweet-faced pit bull, shar pei and retriever mix, was found Thursday in Saint Paul after a witness spotted the missing pooch and called 911, the Saint Paul Police Department said on Twitter.<\/a><\/p>\n

\u201cShe\u2019s my best friend,\u201d U.S. Navy veteran James Booth said in an emotional interview with KARE 11<\/a>. \u201cI didn\u2019t think I was gonna get her back.\u201d<\/p>\n

A 33-year-old woman inside his car was collared, and Ladybug was returned to Booth, who said the dog helps him with PTSD and bipolar disorder.<\/p>\n

\u201cI couldn\u2019t sleep and when I did kind of nod out, I\u2019d have nightmares that something happ<\/a>ened to her,\u201d said Booth, who brought home his furry friend 10 years ago.<\/p>\n

When he got back Ladybug, Booth howled with joy \u2014 telling her, \u201cWe\u2019re going to get you a big steak.\u201d<\/p>\n

On Tuesday, Booth\u2019s gray 2008 Dodge Caliber was stolen along with the pooch, prompting Saint Paul cops to ask for the public\u2019s help finding her. The woman who reported seeing Ladybug likely saw the department\u2019s social media<\/a> posts with image of the dog, Booth said.<\/p>\n

\u201cShe was just found. Thank you SPPD!!! #ladybug\u201d one animal lover posted on Twitter<\/a>, along with footage of the pup getting a head scratch from a police officer.\n <\/div>\n
