JACKSON, MS (WLBT) - A local family is relieved after getting their sick dog Simpson back after he was stolen along with a vehicle Tuesday from in front of a Fondren restaurant.

We're told Simpson -- his tan and white hound beagle mix -- was left in front of a hotel. A woman saw him and realized he was a sick dog and took him to her vet.  Later she saw the dog was stolen and called Simpson's family.  The family was able to pick Simpson up from the vet Tuesday night.

The Greater Jackson Chamber Parternership held a ribbon cutting ceremony for the Monroe Street Animal Clinic Tuesday.

The animal clinic is located at 607 Monroe St., off of High Street.
