A happy reunion was shared between rescuers of Skye, a husky that went missing after its owner was pelted with rocks, stabbed and robbed of his bicycle in Simon’s Town earlier this month.
In a community alert the ordeal was shared among residents two weeks ago.
“Two men were mugged and one stabbed near the Redhill Water Reservoir,” the notice read.
“The stabbed victim was taken to hospital by the other victim.”
Two mountain bikes were reportedly stolen while the victim’s dog bolted during the traumatic ordeal.
Not giving up in finding man’s best friend; concerned residents, volunteers and rescue organisations joined forces to find Skye.
Sending out a plea on social media, volunteers gathered at the scene where the incident occurred to find Skye.
“Skye is still not found,” it said. “I think she is on the move, hopefully towards Muizenberg where she lives. Fresh paw prints were going away from the dam towards Simon’s Town side.”
After days of trying to find the dog volunteers were relieved to find it last week.
“A group of rescuers persevered and found her not far from where the incident occurred,” a social media post read.
“We are so grateful as a community to know there are people who care for a positive outcome. Skye is going home to her dad.”
Meanwhile, Simon’s Town police spokesperson WO Cobus Visser confirmed that two bicycles was taken and the victims pelted with stones.
“Police are still searching for the suspects, there was a police operation done to look for the suspects last week.”
