Dog Gone! Atlanta Police Need Help Finding Stolen Pup
ATLANTA — In a heart-wrenching incident that tugs at the heartstrings, a woman had her beloved dog stolen right from her car on a chilly evening earlier this month. The incident took place on December 6, around 9:30 p.m. near the 800 block of Third Street NW, sending ripples of concern throughout the community.
A Quick Trip Turns Tragic
The woman, who wishes to remain anonymous, stopped her car for just a moment, thinking it would be a quick errand. However, upon returning just 10 minutes later, she was met with an unwelcome surprise. Her car had been broken into, and to her utter dismay, her furry friend was nowhere to be found.
The woman’s emotional distress was evident as she described her four-legged companion to authorities. Her dog, a Black and White Shih Tzu, is not just a pet; he’s a cherished family member. Can you imagine the pain of losing a loved one? Our hearts go out to her as she grapples with this shocking theft.
