Woman, child seen snatching dog from family's backyard in NJTuesday, April 7, 2026 9:31PMPolice in New Jersey are looking for a woman and a child who were caught on security video taking a family's dog from its owner's backyard over the weekend.
The 8-pound Shih Tzu Yorkshire Terrier runs toward the back porch."When I watched the video, I was like, I cannot believe this is happening. I couldn't believe it," William Chan said.The woman runs up on the porch, grabs the dog and covers it with a blanket before taking off. "He wasn't a stray. He had a harness on so it's not like he didn't have a collar or anything. I knew they saw it. It looked like the kid wanted the dog," Chan said. Rocky was being watched by a family member who had gone inside the house to feed Rocky and other family pets. That's when Rocky bolted out of the front door."Rocky had got out, must've been a five-minute ordeal and by the time I'm looking for Rocky, he was already snatched up," the dog owner's nephew said.'I mean, if you're sitting on the couch, he'll sit right next to you no matter how much room there is, he'll sit right next to you, on the bed he jumps on the bed. At night he goes to my son's room and sleeps with him, my daughter's room," Chan said. Authorities have released a photo of what appears to be a Honda Pilot, which was used in the dog-napping. "My kids are just torn up over it, I am. He's loved, he's got a loving place. Thank you for taking care of him, but if you can give him back, that would be awesome," Chan said. The video raises questions about how an adult would influence a child. Police say they want to talk to the woman in the video.Have a breaking news tip or an idea for a story we should cover?
