Pet Dognapped: Report

A man, driving his car while his German Shepherd walked alongside the vehicle, said a man unclipped the dog off his leash and stole the animal, according to published reports.

John Warren, 65, was driving his car slowly on Haymar Drive near El Camino Real while his dog walked outside on a leash, Carlsbad police told the Union Tribune.

A man in a gray Toyota Tacoma pickup truck pulled up and said, "You can't do this," Warren told the North County Times.

He watched as the younger man unclipped the dog's collar from the leash and herded the friendly dog into the truck's extended cab, he told the paper.

Warren called Carslbad police who took a robbery report, Lt. Jay Eppel said. Anyone with information can call Carlsbad police at 760-931-2197.
