A World War II veteran devastated by the recent theft of his “best friend” — a teacup Chihuahua named Lola — from the front yard of his Downey home is pleading for the public’s help in a frantic effort to track her down.
Lola, 12, was stolen from the home’s yard, located in the 7600 block of Brunache Street, last Wednesday, according to her owner, 93-year-old Roger LeClair, who describes the 1 1/2 pound dog as the love of his life.
In an interview Friday, LeClair told KTLA a child walking home from school around 2 p.m. saw a woman in a red car pull up to the home and take little Lola from the yard. According to LeClair, the woman told the child she was taking the dog to the veterinarian and then left.
