After being violently abducted on the streets of Paris last month, a young puppy finally returned to his caretaker, a loving homeless man.

The puppy was reunited with his owner on Friday after Antony Blanchard, president of the France-based animal welfare group Cause Animale Nord, admitted to the organization's wrongdoing in the theft of the homeless man's puppy.

A video of the incident quickly swept across the internet in late September and brought worldwide attention to this unjust seizure.

In the footage, activists from Cause Animale Nord can be seen pushing and shoving the man aside in order to snatch the puppy away. Both the man and dog were manhandled and can be heard wailing during the traumatic encounter.
