Jesse James, Sandra Bullock Reunite with Missing Dog After 3 Weeks

Reprinted from news reports:

Jesse James' dog, Cinnabun, has been returned home.

"The search is over!," James posted on his West Coast Choppers Web site Wednesday, Feb. 17. "We got a call from a gal by the name of Rosaura in Los Angeles today saying she had Cinny."

Rosaura brought Cinnabun--who disappeared from the shop Jan. 25--to the West Coast Choppers office for the reunion, James wrote in his post.

"The car pulls in, the door flings open, and out pops Cinnabun! It's been just over three weeks since we last saw her and were starting to wonder if we'd ever get her back ... and there she was," he wrote.

Cinnabun had reportedly been with the woman then entire time. She wasn't aware who Cinnabun belonged to until she saw a flier, which were posted throughout the Los Angeles area.

Photos of the reunion between the West Coast Choppers owner and his puppy pitbull are posted on the West Coast Choppers Web site.

James wrote that Cinnabun was in good shape, "...maybe a few pounds thinner than when she left. But super happy to be home. We're taking her to the vet to get her all checked out and chipped, and GPS'd, and live-tracked by Google Earth...the works. We don't want to lose this little gal again!!!"

Following Cinnabun's disappearance near Anaheim Street and the Los Angeles River, James posted Twitter messages pleading for help in finding his lost dog.

James and wife, actress Sandra Bullock, also posted a $2,000 reward, then later increased it to $5,000 for Cinnabun's safe return.

"Thanks to everyone who sent us e-mails, calls, and well wishes over the past few weeks," James wrote on the West Coast Choppers Web site, "and a BIG thanks to Rosaura in Los Angeles who found her and brought her back ... and a special thanks from Mr.T who is happy to have his little buddy back.

"Let the barking, wrastlin' and bone chasing begin!"
