"It's a really really despicable act, what they did," owner Louis D'Alto junior said in an exclusive interview with Eyewitness News. "We heard the dog yelp, he put a leash on the dog dragged the dog away."
A man picked up Jessie, got into a red SUV and took off. Louis Jr. said watching the video footage made him sick.
"Sick, powerless like I just hope they don't harm him or in an effort to get rid of the evidence," Louise Jr. said.
The D'Alto family said they filed a police report to catch the person who stole their chihuahua.
