I understand that you need to use て to connect two verbs but all the example I
have seen are like 起きて、コーヒーを飲んだ . There's always a more "complete" sentence
for the action that follows the first verb. Is this sentence, あぁ連れて帰って くれたんだね,
just omitting the subject (you) and saying "Thank you for taking **and**
bringing her home."? Of course the second verb is in て form as well do to
~てくれる conjugation.

Anyways, that is the only way I can interpret it. Whenever I try and find a
similar sentence online by searching for "two verbs connected with て or
something similar" I get sentences like this 起きて、コーヒーを飲んだ .

question
て-form
Why are the verbs connected with てhere? 連れて帰って
The verbs are connected in て-form is to emphasize that you do A first before
you do B.

連れて帰る means to bring and go home.

Some other examples are:

  * 聞いて来る: To ask and come (ask and return; go somewhere else to ask is implied)
  * 食べて帰る: To eat and go home
  * して見る: To do and see (basically means try)
  * 連れて行く: To bring and go

The latter verb changes to Te-form too when you are asking someone else to do
it or just the same as Te-form that you've been learning so far.
