Journalists are always up to date, but as much as Juliana Mazza is difficult, as this American journalist was covering the case of a stolen dog when suddenly she found a man walking him who appeared to be the one suspected thief.
The Massachusetts 7 News reporter visited the scene last Sunday, a parking lot where a dog named Titus was stolen on Friday, as Cambridge police reported.
“An unknown suspect broke into a parked vehicle and stole a 13-month-old white German shorthair pointer from the vehicle. The suspect was then observed walking the dog on the deck of the Boston University, “authorities said on Twitter.
The dog was wearing an orange collar with the name “Titu.”

The reporter asked him if he hadn’t thought to call the phone number provided by the police or the one, he wore on his collar in case he got lost, and the suspect replied that he had called, but then his phone broke, and he ended up babbling without knowing what to answer.
Juliana Mazza then called the police, who certified the dog and the suspect were the ones they were looking for, and they took Titus to safety and arrested the man. “We were able to convince the suspect to give us the dog and we kept him entertained until Cambride police arrived shortly after. We are very happy that Titus is safe!” delighted the reporter on Twitter.
