A motorcycle-riding dog is to be reunited with his BMW after police in the Kaliningrad region recovered the stolen vehicle.
Stitch, a 10-year old mongrel, rose to Internet fame after videos of him riding on the motorcycle alongside his owner were uploaded to YouTube, gaining him the nickname "Moto-pyos" — Russian for "Motorcycle dog."

The BMW K 1200 RS was parked outside the owner's house in the town of Sovetsk when it was stolen in early May, Interfax reported citing a regional police spokesman.
After a search lasting a little more than two weeks, the motorcycle was found in a local garage, a police spokesman was quoted as saying.
Police are continuing to investigate the case, Interfax reported.
A Message from The Moscow Times:
Dear readers,
We are facing unprecedented challenges. Russia's Prosecutor General's Office has designated The Moscow Times as an "undesirable" organization, criminalizing our work and putting our staff at risk of prosecution. This follows our earlier unjust labeling as a "foreign agent."
These actions are direct attempts to silence independent journalism in Russia. The authorities claim our work "discredits the decisions of the Russian leadership." We see things differently: we strive to provide accurate, unbiased reporting on Russia.
We, the journalists of The Moscow Times, refuse to be silenced. But to continue our work, we need your help.
Your support, no matter how small, makes a world of difference. If you can, please support us monthly starting from just $2. It's quick to set up, and every contribution makes a significant impact.
By supporting The Moscow Times, you're defending open, independent journalism in the face of repression. Thank you for standing with us.
Remind me later.
