"Thank you so so so much everyone for your support, we really wouldn't have gotten Leo home without you."
CCTV footage captured an unknown man getting out of a silver Toyota Kluger, which had stolen number plates, unlatching their front gate and putting the dog in the car.
Beaumont and her partner spent the week desperately campaigning for help to find their beloved pet, even offering a $10,000 reward for his return.
