In a Córdoba shaken by daily insecurity, a different story managed to move people and highlight the value of police work. Zami, an eight-month-old golden retriever, was stolen on Monday from the yard of her home in the Granja de Funes neighborhood. Her owner, Emanuel, noticed the theft after hearing the gate open, looked for his pet, and immediately alerted the police.
Several hours of desperation passed until around 6:00 p.m., Emanuel received a call that gave him hope again. A patrol officer informed him that they had found Zami, who was seen in the IPV Argüello neighborhood, just a few blocks from her home. According to police sources, the animal hadn't gotten lost: she had been stolen and taken by unknown individuals to that area.
