Thieves Steal Car With Beloved Family Pug Inside

One Missouri family is on a desperate search for their beloved dog Dugout. CNN's Michaela Periera reports.

Doug Clark of Springfield, Missouri, stopped at a metal recycling business last week to drop off his family's broken trampoline when his SUV was stolen with Dugout inside.

Clark says, "I had Dugout with me, so I left the air-conditioning on because I was just going to stop in the office real quick. I put the E-break on, I left the car running, the keys were in it."

Now the family says they are willing to give the title to their 2009 Nissan pathfinder, plus $2,000, to whoever brings back the animal.

Clark says, "They bring me Dugout back and I'll hand them the title."
