A service dog named Princess has been found after almost 20 hours away from her owner.

Toronto police from 14 Division said they received a tip about the 6-year-old teacup Chihuahua’s whereabouts and they retrieved her shortly after in the area of King St. W and Strachan Ave. on Sunday evening.

Princess was shivering but seemed fine, one detective said. She was excited to see her owner again.

The dog was reported stolen at 2 a.m. Sunday in the area of Bloor St. W. and Ossington Ave. Princess had been secured to a railing by its 28-year-old owner Ashley-Victoria Martineau before she entered a McDonald’s restaurant, police said.

Police allege Princess was unclipped from the harness and taken.

Princess is a service dog for her owner, who suffers from post traumatic stress disorder and depression.

Martineau said she left Princess outside only because she would be in and out of McDonald’s quickly, and that she’s had trouble trying to bring her dog into restaurants in the past.

Martineau said she adopted Princess five years ago when she found it on the street in the city’s east end.

“One day I was in tears and she came up to me, cuddled, sat on my lap, and gave me kisses,” Martineau said. “There’s so many ways (she helps) that it’s not easy to explain.”

Police have identified a male and female as persons of interest in the theft and expect to release details in the future.

In April, a Pomeranian/Shih Tzu named Kobe was tied outside a fast food restaurant when a man took it away. The dog was found tied to a post a few blocks from the restaurant four days later.
