A FRENCH bulldog puppy who was stolen from his family home in the middle of the night has been found safe.
Rachelle Smyth captured the hearts of social media users across Glasgow when she made a desperate plea for little 12-week-old Stanley to brought home safely on Monday.
The pup had been taken from his Carmunnock home by callous thieves, who also made off with Rachelle's mum's car, a Volkswagen Tiguan.
But the family revealed a "major celebration" was underway as little Stanley was returned home safely.

In a series of Facebook posts, Rachelle wrote: "Thank you all so so much for all the support we have been given, you are all absolutely amazing.
"We did it, my baby will be tucked up safe in bed with me tonight where he belongs."
She added: "Major celebration tonight, our baby is home with all his loved ones. We are all completely over the moon!!
"Would like to thank you all again for all the help and support we have received over the last few days, completely overwhelmed with how amazing everyone has been, we are so so thankful."
It's not yet known what happened to the pup or if the family car has been returned.
