Stolen Butter Cow mascot for Michigan State Fair returned to family on Detroit’s west side

DETROIT – The Butter Cow mascot for the Michigan State Fair, stolen from a family’s front yard by two men on Detroit’s west side, has been returned.

Officials say Margie is now safe back home with her family.

Security video showed Margie being dragged out of her yard on Sunday (July 14) at 2:42 p.m. in the 7278 block of Longacre Street when one of the men grabbed her by the collar and dragged her away from the residence.

The dog’s owner, Kat Delph, was extra concerned because Margie needed daily medication.

Oddly enough, officials say someone called the owner, saying they have been caring for Margie for the past few days.

Local 4 was told that the man called once he realized she was a missing dog and even declined the $2,000 reward.
