Our pal Stokemonster was on the scene:
Lower Mission/La Lengua neighbors, today I witnessed and chased after a guy who stole someone’s Yorkshire Terrier from in front of the Mcdonalds on 24th . I lost him on 26th & Mission but he was only out of my sight for less then 30 secs so, unless he had a getaway driver, I’m pretty sure he lives in the neighborhood. Keep an eye out for a white male, about 6 ft 180 lbs, shaved head (possibly wearing an oversized grey hoodie) with a Yorkie.
Stokes managed to track down the owner, so this is a pic of the actual dognapped pup. Keep your eyes peeled.
UPDATE: The pup is safe, according to this comment from its owner…
My dog is safe and home. I’m too overwhelmed and exhausted from such a horrible day. I will write back and tell the story later. Thank you to those who were concerned and looking out. I appreciate it sooo much.
