LAUDERHILL, FLA. (WSVN) - A Lauderhill woman is begging a man who was spotted picking up her beloved poodle to bring her dog back home.
Surveillance video shows 13-year-old Nyla the poodle walking around just a block from her Lauderhill home on the 1600 block of Northwest 56th Avenue, Saturday morning. As she is seen wandering, a man in a white Honda Accord could be seen walking up to her.
“She’s a very friendly dog. He came right to her. He picked her up and got back into his car,” said Raylene Thomas, Nyla’s owner. “Just a lovable dog and she’s the world to my family. She is a family member to us.”
Thomas had Nyla since she was just a puppy and said she can’t imagine life without her.
She has been posting fliers in an attempt to locate Nyla, but so far, she has been unsuccessful.
“I went over to this community and posted on their mailboxes,” she said.
Thomas hopes the man in the video picked her up out of concern for her safety.
“I’m hoping you’re being a good Samaritan, and you’re driving around looking and asking,” she said. “If possible, please, please bring her back. She means a lot to our family, and it would mean a lot to have her back,” she said.
Nyla does have a microchip, and Thomas has filed a police report in case the man did intend to steal her.
