A homeless man was left devastated after heartless thieves snatched his beloved dog.
Nick Rowley was on Newmarket High Street when two men snatched his companion.
Bailey, a four-year-old lurcher, was then seen being bundled into the back of a transit van.
Two weeks later the beloved pet has finally been found over 30 miles away in Huntingdon.
Amy McBrearthy, a friend of Nick's, said he was absolutely devastated by the loss.
She said: "Two people came up and took the dog. A taxi driver tried to help but they grabbed Bailey and put him in a transit van and zoomed off. "
The duo of Nick and Bailey are inseparable and were never seen without each other and were reunited yesterday (April 19).
Amy said: "They are always out and about."
" Bailey and Nick are so close-knit, he doesn't leave Nick's side," she added.
The two men who took Bailey have been described as a blond man in his 30s and a dark-haired man in his 40s.
A page set up to help find Bailey was viewed tens of thousands of times.
Bailey was taken on April 4 and reports earlier this week reported seeing a similar looking dog in the Huntingdon area.
Across social media people have slammed the "heartless thieves".
