PLANTATION (CBSMiami) – A Plantation family is pleading for the public's help in finding their dog, which was stolen from a Fort Lauderdale gas station.
"I was driving in the car, stopped at a gas station and grabbed my morning drink, and came back out as some lady was getting in my car and just drove off," said Kristen Husk, who left her engine running while she went inside the gas station.
Surveillance cameras were rolling at the Sunshine Mart off Davie Blvd. and 35th Ave. as Fort Lauderdale police say a woman is seen getting into Husk's Toyota Corolla.
The woman takes off as Husk runs after her vehicle, to no avail.
All of Husk's belongings, including her beloved Jack Russell mix named Casey, were gone.
The Husk family says Casey is more than just a pet – she's family.
"I thought my life was over," Husk said. "I didn't care about the car. I was worried about my dog really."
Husk says her vehicle was located after it was dumped some time later. But Casey was nowhere to be found, leaving a huge void in her family.
"Please just bring her to a shelter. Call the police. Let her come back to her home," said Nancy Husk, Kristen's mother.
The family says they've spent the day driving around the neighborhood and passing out flyers in hopes of finding Casey and bringing her back home.
"She has a really loving family and she's old and she really needs to be with us," said Nancy Husk.
The family says Casey does not have a microchip.
She's black and white, has pointy ears, weighs about 13 to 14 pounds and has a Mickey Mouse-like design on her back.
If you have any information, contact Broward Crime Stoppers at (954) 493-TIPS.
The family is offering a $1,000 reward for Casey's safe return.
