The diminutive doggies were taken from the singer's Fulton County home Wednesday. On Sunday Littrell's fiancee, Leighanne Wallace, received a telephone tip, and she and Littrell headed for Cherokee and Pickens
counties. The dogs had been split up and were being kept at separate houses. Local sheriff's departments helped retrieve both by Sunday night.
"It was so a movie," Wallace told Buzz on Monday. "There we were, standing outside while the police were inside negotiating Litty's release. Finally, the officer came out in the rain with her under his coat."
Wallace surmises that a pair of overzealous Backstreet Boys fans snatched the dogs from the couple's back yard. The parties involved have not been charged in the case.
The Chihuahuas were dehydrated and in need of their heartworm medication, but otherwise unscathed.
Littrell and Wallace, an actress, obliged a law enforcement request for an autograph and a photograph. Said Wallace: "The officer told us, 'I have this camera in the car, but I usually only get to take pictures of dead people with it. My wife will never believe this.' "
With Tyk and Litty back romping at home --- a 46-acre spread the couple recently moved into, she relocating to her hometown after a stint in L.A. and he becoming an Atlantan for the first time --- Wallace and Littrell can get back to planning their September wedding.
