Chaos erupted outside a busy Walmart when a man’s beloved dog was stolen right from his parked vehicle.
The owner had stepped inside the store to grab some supplies when he realized he had left his wallet in the car. Returning to the parking lot, he was shocked to find his brown boxer mix, wearing a pink collar and camo leash, gone.
A young witness reported seeing a black Mustang pull up, a man reach into the vehicle, grab the dog, and drive off. The child tried to catch the license plate but could only offer a vague description.
Police have been dispatched to investigate the theft and are seeking tips from anyone who may have seen the Mustang or knows the identity of the person responsible.
