A fairy penguin stolen from an Australian marine park, has been safely returned, but not before being chased by a dog and possibly a shark.

Police allege three young men broke into Sea World on Queensland's Gold Coast on Saturday night, swam in the dolphin enclosure and then stole seven-year-old Dirk as they made their escape.
The little bird was found, exhausted but otherwise well, on Sunday after a couple spotted him in a nearby shallow estuary.
