Lola was taken from his yard on the 7600 block of Brunache Street in Downey, which is near Las Angeles.  According to LeClair, a young boy saw a woman in a red car pull up to the home and take Lola while he was on his walk home from school.  When the boy asked what she was doing, she told him that the dog was going to the vet.

No one has seen Lola since that time.  She’s not shown up on any social media sites as of yet, but almost every available person in Downey is looking for this woman in a red car, but more importantly looking for Lola.  The dog happens to be very well known in the area, and many of LeClair’s neighbors and friends are putting up flyers and canvasing the area.

“For the last week and a half, day and night, I go to bed thinking about her, I wake up a time or two at night thinking about her.  I guess you call it grieving,” LeClair said.

This year hasn’t exactly been the easiest for LeClair.  First he lost his daughter, then he was in a car accident, and now someone has stolen his best friend from him.  As stated before, LeClair doesn’t want to start any trouble, he just wants his dog back.  Anyone with information on Lola’s whereabouts is asked to call 562-923-3364.  LeClair is offering a reward, and says that there will be “no questions asked” as long as Lola is returned to him safely.

An animal cruelty investigation is underway in Riverside County, California.  An unidentified dog was found with his muzzle wrapped up with rope.  The dog had been abandoned, and now authorities are asking for help from the public in identifying the dog and finding his abuser, so justice can be served.

The dog was discovered by a woman around 7 pm yesterday, while walking along Granite Hill Drive near Pedley Road.  The dog is assumed to have been dumped in that area very recently.  The woman that came across the helpless dog called the Riverside County Department of Animal Services.

A sheriff’s deputy was sent to the scene, and managed to get to the dog and cut off the ropes binging his mouth closed.  According to John Welsh with county animal services, the rope was tied so tightly, it was almost impossible to get it off.

“There was very little space for him to get his knife between the dog’s muzzle and the rope to cut it.  That’s how tight it was around him,” said Welsh.

The dog is approximately 2 years old, and other than the obvious, was in pretty decent physical health.  He’s said to have a very sweet disposition, despite the abuse that he’s had to endure.  He has been taken to the Western Riverside County/City Animal Shelter in Jurupa Valley.  While there he was checked for a microchip, but does not have one.

Authorities are asking for any and all information that anyone may have on the dog.  Who is he?  Is there a family out there looking for him, or was he horribly abused and dumped off by some one?  Animal services wants to know, and they are asking anyone with information to come forward
