New Delhi: Little did a proud dog-owner know that leaving her four-year-old toy Pomeranian in a parked car would be the last she saw of the adorable four-legged creature. The owner, a 23-year-old artist based out of Greater Kailash-II recalls leaving the dog named Louis, back in her parked car as she stepped down at a grocery store on her way to Gurugram in Haryana on Saturday evening.

The dog owner, Deeya Sharma said that the incident took place between 7.30 pm and 7.50 pm. She told Hindustan Times that unknown miscreants took Louis along with her purse which was carrying some cash and important documents. The only thing they left was a ‘Superman cap’ on the rear seat of the car. She adds that the glass of the front passenger window was shattered and her pet along with the purse were missing when she returned to the vehicle.

Distraught, the family registered an official complaint following which the Fatehpur Beri police station lodged an FIR. In fact, the family who claim that Louis will stop eating in their absence have also announced an award of Rs 10,000 to anyone who finds and reports the four-legged creature who has thick brown-fur.

CCTV footage is also being combed through for any clues that could lead the police to the identity of the thieves. Deputy commissioner of police (DCP-South) Vijay Kumar said that efforts are underway to trace Louis. In fact, reports by a part of the media suggest that police have identified two suspicious suspects who were caught on camera by CCTVs installed at shops near the spot where the car was parked.
