12-year-old DeKalb boy’s therapy dogs taken, mom offering reward to bring them home

A DeKalb County mother is pleading for someone to return her son’s medical dogs after they were reportedly stolen in January.

She said thieves stole them from her porch two weeks ago, and she’s now offering a reward to anyone who can help find the dogs.

Dawn Anderson said school has not been easy for her son, Sulaiman Anderson, this year. He’s 12 years old, dealing with bullies, depression and anxiety.

Her eldest son bought him therapy dogs in an effort to turn that around.

“The puppies understood that they have an assignment, I believe, and that assignment was to bond with Sulaiman,” said Anderson. “Which they did, and, in turn, Sulaiman loved them.”

She said she was cleaning the dogs’ enclosure on Jan. 28 when she tied them to the front porch for a matter of minutes.

“I opened the door. The puppies were gone. The food was still there,” said Anderson.
