MILWAUKEE — Lindsay Charney is looking for community help after she said her car was stolen on Milwaukee's East Side. Though the car has been recovered, their dog Boo is still missing.
"He left the car for not even five minutes; he had the keys with him," Charney said. "He shouldn't have done this, it's a lesson, but he left our dog in the car and the car was stolen."
Charney and her husband spent hours searching throughout the East Side on Friday, looking for their missing pet. A heartbreaking day.
"I just wanted to die, my heart sank, I just feel terrible, helpless," Charney said.
The vehicle was found near 28th and Wisconsin, more than four miles away from where it was stolen near the corner of Oakland and North.

When they arrived at the recovery location, police walked the couple through the damage to their black Audi, which included dents on both sides and damage to the driver's side handle. Items had been stolen from inside the vehicle, but there was no sign of Boo.
"I don't care about my car, I just want my dog back," Charney said.
For Charney, who has no children, losing Boo is devastating.
"I'm nervous, it's a Friday, it's getting dark soon, the weather is turning. She's little, she's hopeless," Charney said.
Milwaukee Police confirmed they are still looking for unknown suspects in the case.
The family is offering a $2,000 reward for anyone who brings Boo home safely.
If you have seen Boo or have information about the dog's location, you're asked to contact the Milwaukee Police Department: 414-933-4444.
