File under feel good story of the month.

When San Francisco-based artist David Baker had his house broken into this weekend, the burglar didn’t just take his laptop and bicycle – he took his dog, Mochi [above].

He appealed for help on Instagram, with an outpouring of support from people – mostly skaters – helping his cause. The news reached veteran skater Jim Thiebaud, whose post was re-grammed by Green Day’s Billie Joe Armstrong, prompting another wave of people to joint the hunt. One commented that he’d travelled from Berkeley to help.

In less than a day, Mochi was found. Here’s the story in Instagram embeds [via CBS San Francisco]:

MOCHI IS HOME!!!Please bring Mochi home. I’m still searching and will be in contact and physically going to every shelter I can. I’m hoping someone is holding onto her until they hear something so please help get the word out and help bring my puppy home. If any of you are willing to put up some posters in the SF area please contact me and I will email you this flyer.

Repost from @jimthiebaud Skateboarders can do anything – let’s help @DavidBaker & @Cassniki bring their stolen dog Mochi home. Their SF apt was broken into two days ago and along with their personal belongings their dog Mochi was stolen as well. They have video of the person taking the dog away. There have been recent tips that the person taking the dog frequents and was seen yesterday in Civic Center / Tenderloin / Western Edition / Soma / Lower Haight areas. Mochi is approx 50 pound female Pitbull w/ white markings on her chest and front paws. I spoke with David this AM. There is a full foot search today. Let’s add to it – on skateboards. We are offering a fat DLX box to any skater that peacefully helps Mochi find her way home. If you have any info or see Mochi please call: 1 (909) 382-1156 or the SFPD. #thankyouskateboarding #bringmochihome

Good morning from Mochi! She’s so happy to be in her own bed she doesn’t wanna leave. These past few days have been so crazy and surreal. I can’t thank all of you enough, everyone that shared, everyone supporting, and especially those out on foot helping me find her. There are so many of you to name but you know who you are and I am so blessed and grateful for all of you. Last night was pretty crazy, after starting a small night crew we were able to have a spotter find Mochi, identify her and have a group surround the thief and obtain my dog. It was the most intense and emotional experience in my life, being so happy to be reunited with my pup and also watching the thief get caught and being able to look her in the eyes while she was arrested was a crazy feeling. The power of community, friendship, and social media is crazy. THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU FOR BRINGING MOCHI HOME
