“He was found in the area near here and he was tangled up in some bushes with his leash caught,” he said. The neighbors who found Meatball saw the posters and left the dog with the couple, who then took him back home. “Our family is so grateful for everyone’s concern and we are so happy to have him back in our arms,” Frost said. Frost shared a video on Friday showing Jamie holding Meatball with his tail wagging furiously.
The victim is honored as a hero
The family held a vigil for Brian Thursday at the intersection of Hermitage Street and Henry Avenue, where the stabbing occurred.
