The dog wandered the apartment complex until a witness at the pool found it.
The witness also met with authorities and said that she found the dog and put out a Ring app notification for the lost dog. The witness said that a short time later, two women walked up to the pool and identified the dog as “Coco.”
The two suspects took the dog from the witness and left in a blue SUV. From the apartment complex surveillance footage, the SUV appears to be a Cadillac with no tag.
