The two-year-old male Shih Tzu named Theo has been reunited with his owner.
Now, the police are looking for help finding a person and car they say are of interest in the dognapping.
Theo was taken at around 12:58 p.m. Saturday, July 13. His owner left him, together with her purse in the car while parked in the 1900 block of M Street SE, a relatively quiet block along the river where the Anacostia Community Boathouse is located, along the river south of the Congressional Cemetery.
Theo has since been reunited with his owner. But police are looking person of interest and a vehicle. The car is described as a black Hyundai Elantra with tinted windows and chrome rims and was last seen bearing a Georgia tag of DAA7179 and can be seen in the photos above.
