Car Stolen With Dog Inside in Boston

A Massachusetts woman just wants her pet back after a dog walker's vehicle was stolen with the animal inside.

Boston Police are investigating the theft of the vehicle in the city's West Roxbury neighborhood. The dog walker was bringing another dog to its home at 585 Baker Street in the city's West Roxbury neighborhood when she saw her car, containing Pooh, a Shih Tzu/poodle mix, driving away.

Pooh's owner, Iris Sonnenschein of Brookline, shared photos of the dog.

"Please spread the word so we can get our dog back!" she wrote in an email.

The vehicle is a dark blue 2011 Subaru Outback with a Thule ski rack and Massachusetts plates reading "168 DC7."
