“I've taken some time to collect my thoughts on this subject matter, and it's very heartbreaking to say that Blitz has been stolen from my home last Sunday,” Whitehead wrote. “While out of town, Blitz was being taken care of by a close friend at my house and someone broke in and took him.”
“Whomever stole Blitz has contacted my phone numerous times, demanding ransom money. I strongly advise you to stop and return my boy safely before it gets any worse!”
Tuesday morning, Whitehead posted a Snapchat story saying Blitz had been returned home safely.
Late Monday, a Fort Worth rapper known as Boogotti Kasino tweeted a video of the dog being returned to friends of Whitehead's.

Kasino tweeted earlier Monday night that he didn't steal the dog, but rather purchased it and was just hoping to recover the money he had paid.
Whitehead didn't have to pay to get Blitz back
Whitehead got Blitz from Kings and Queens Bullies -- the same breeder where Charlotte Hornets center Dwight Howard got his pitbull pup -- this offseason. Blitz even has his own Instagram account, @blitz2fast, which has more than 5,600 followers.
