Not even remotely like bringing home a stray puppy!

Then it stands to reason that one can also say "I took the airplane to
London; I brought the airplane home again."

Hard to search for this kind of thing; but try Googling <<"brought the
subway home">>

(^_^)

Sure seems odd to me.

Not in DARE.

I don't recall encountering it myself.
