A woman whose sports car was stolen with her dog in it put up notices all over the area that made it clear getting back her pet was more important than her car．

“Whoever did this can keep my car．Please let Benjerman come home,” the notice said．

It is not known whether the thief showed any pity, but almost 30 hours after the 1 pm theft Friday, Kimberly Atkins of Dover and Benjerman，a 12-year-old black retriever（猎犬），were reunited after police located them in Barrington．

“He’s hungry, he’s dirty, but he’s very happy to be home，”Atkins said．

The car was found at about 5 pm Saturday off Route 125 in a swampy area frequented by off-the-road cars and dirt bikes．However, the police couldn’t control Benjerman，and they had to call Atkins to come and get him．

Atkins said the thief cared for Benjerman a little by providing him with some dry cat food．She believed Benjerman ended up drinking some muddy water in the area．

She said they have been together for nearly 11 years after she took him back from a society shelter in Dallas, Texas．

 Before Benjerman was found，Atkins and several friends put up notices all over the city and in Somersworth．They also contacted animal shelters，throughout southern New Hampshire and Massachusetts.

The notice stated there was a reward，and also that the dog needed medication．Any caller could remain anonymous（匿名的）．

Atkins had parked the car outside a hardware store with the keys inside and gone in to rent a carpet cleaner.

¨It was l0 minutes and I came out and my car was gone along with Benjerman in broad daylight，” Atkins said．The car thief threw Atkins’ wallet and other personal items out of the car before escaping from the scene．

After spending a weekend away with my adult son, I was so impressed by his generous heart that I sent him this letter.

Dear son，

　 I want to thank you for teaching me a very __1__ lesson in life by the great example you __2__. When we were eating at that café in Bondi and a person who had __3__ his hamburger didn't have enough money to pay for it, without any __4__， you went over and put the __5__ $2 into his hand.

When we were leaving, you __6__threw a fivecent coin onto the pavement and said __7__　 like, “Some kid will really enjoy __8__ this.”

　　 Last week，a young man __9__ me in the line at a petrol station didn't have __10__　 money to pay for his petrol. I asked the money collector，“How much __11__ is he？” She told me he had meant to put $15 of petrol in his car __12__ he had been looking at the wrong gauge(计量表) and had put in 15 __13__， which came to just over __14__. That is an easy mistake __15__ both gauges run fast.

Something made me think of you and __16__ you did that night at the caré in Bondi. I handed the man $6. He was so __17__ and said，“But why would you do this for me？”I just smiled as I thought of you.

　　 Thank you, son, for teaching me that “it's _18__to give than receive”. Now when I see a fivecent coin on the__19__ and want to pick it up, I think of you and leave it __20__， just in case some kid will get a kick out of finding it.

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 Love always,

Mum
