Car-jacking dog released from lock-up

A car-jacking dog will spend a few more days in lock-up before being allowed to return to the comfort of his kennel.

The Staffordshire bull terrier, wearing the name tag Chevy, caused headaches for authorities after he jumped into a stranger's car at a suburban shopping centre last night and refused to leave.

Police took the canine to a station in Croydon, in Melbourne's east, and later transferred him to the Coldstream pound.

An appeal was made for the owner of the dog to come forward.

A spokeswoman today said Chevy's female owner contacted the pound, apparently unaware of her Staffy's exploits since he disappeared, and was expected to be reunited with her pet on Tuesday.
