BOSTON (WHDH) - Boston police are searching for two people involved in a dog theft in Dorchester Wednesday afternoon.
At around 4:30 p.m., the French bulldog, named Bodega, wandered from the area of Ceylon Street before being picked up by two people on a scooter, according to the Boston Police Department.
The two were last seen with the dog near the intersection of Quincy and Ceylon streets, police said.
Bodega’s owner spoke with 7NEWS anonymously to protect her identity. Her and her family fear what could have happened to their beloved pet.
“He’s part of the family,” said Bodega’s owner. “And we have been with him since he was a baby.”
She says Bodega was outside playing in their yard when he was taken.
“I just, like, turned around [to] see what he was doing, and out of nowhere he just disappeared,” said Bodega’s owner.
The owner shared an emotional plea to those who took him, saying it’s time for Bodega to come back home.
“Just please be kind,” said Bodega’s owner. “Everybody here in the house is sad. So, please return him back home.”
Anyone with information about the incident is asked to contact detectives at 617-343-4275, Boston police said.
Those who wish to report information anonymously can call the CrimeStoppers Tip Line at 1-800-494-TIPS or text “TIP” to CRIME (27463).
