Tutu, an 8-year-old doberman, was reunited with his family 12 hours after he went missing on Tuesday, thanks to social media and the efforts of Senior Inspector Sudhir Kudalkar and his team at MHB Colony police station.

V J Thomas, Tutu’s owner who runs a tours and travels agency in Borivli West, told mid-day, “I saw Tutu playing outside my home around 6.30 am when my driver was cleaning the bus. I later learned that Tutu had gone inside the bus without any of us noticing, and travelled till Don Bosco signal. But when the bus door was opened to pick up the passengers, he fled. After being informed, I, along with my relatives and friends, searched for him in the area but could not find him.”
