Two dognappers grabbed the service dog of a 66-year-old 110-pound California woman from her front yard before taking off in their getaway car.
Devastated dog owner, Lisa Hartouni, said that when she stepped into her home to give her German Shepherd Jack some dog treats, the dog was gone.
Hartouni, who relies on a motorized scooter to get around, said the couple had just returned from their daily dog walk. KTLA News reported.
The harrowing ordeal took place Saturday outside Hartouni’s mansion on Orange Avenue and Anaheim Street in Long Beach, California.
Shocking video shows two men stop at Hartouni’s house and retrieve the dog from her fenced yard. The suspects placed the dog in a white sedan before driving away.
The attackers were dressed in black and one of the attackers was wearing a shirt with the words ‘Long Beach Certified’.
On Monday, the heartbroken owner posted a photo of Jack sitting on a leather recliner on the Lost and Found Pets of Lakewood and Long Beach in hopes someone will recognize him and take him home.
“He’s not aggressive, very curious, loves treats and will come when called by his name Jack. He is chipped, vaccinated and up-to-date with injections.’ Hartouni said,
Jack, a six-year-old German Shepherd, was kidnapped Saturday in the front yard of his owner’s Long Beach, California, home. Police are looking for the missing dog

Weeks before the brutal kidnapping, Hartouni had been approached by an unknown man while she was out with her dog. The man claimed that her shepherd belonged to a friend of his, and then the man started following her.
Hartouni believes she was “watched.”
“He saw the dog and for some reason wanted the dog. I don’t think it was a friend’s dog. It was an excuse, a made-up story,” she said, the news channel reported.
Days before the dog abduction, a neighbor’s security camera caught two men in separate cars stopping at Hartouni’s mansion and cornering the dog.
Since Jack went missing, neighbors have gathered to help the devastated dog owner find her four-legged friends. Flyers have been posted in and around the area.
Hartouni hopes someone will come forward and bring her son Jack back to his loving home.
She explained that she didn’t need the person’s name or number, she just begged to “just take him somewhere safe.”
The Long Beach Police Department is also investigating the case.
