A Canadian couple was visiting Memphis last week, to celebrate Elvis' 80th birthday, when their Yorkshire Terrier, Dixie, was stolen.

They didn't even have a chance to check into their room before their beloved dog was taken from their car while it sat in the hotel parking lot.

Luckily, Memphis Police got a tip that Dixie was not far from where she was taken, and the couple had a moving reunion with their adored Yorkie.
