It is suspected that the gang of cattle thieves which had abducted the dog left it there fearing arrest, police said.
"The neighbours who go out for morning walk on regular basis spotted Zoro (the dog) tied to a pole in the park around 5 AM. We rushed to the spot and, yes, it was him," Aftab Khan, the owner of the dog said.
"Efforts are on to track down the gang which had forcibly
Taken away the dog," a senior police official said.

Zoro saw pigs in their van too and started barking, following which the gang of around 4-5 men forcibly put the Siberian Husky into their Toyota Innova van and sped away, while Khan looked on.
