At approximately 3:25 p.m. yesterday, Frank Wong secured his family’s 10-month-old cavoodle, Dora, to a pole outside Vogue Shopping Plaza located at 670 Chapel Street, South Yarra.
While Wong was inside the plaza shopping for groceries, three women are reported to have untied Dora and departed with the young dog.
One of the women was described as wearing dark jeans and a hoodie of a dark hue.
Dora, distinguishable by her pink collar and leash, is also microchipped, assisting in her identification.
Those with any details about the incident are urged to reach out to Crimestoppers.
Wong expressed that the family’s primary wish is for the safe return of their “very sociable, very friendly” puppy.
“We are happy to provide a reward, all we want is to have Dora back home with our family,” he said.
“If you want to take her to a vet or a shelter, just hand her over, that would be fine with us as well. Nothing matters more to us than being reunited with Dora.”
