LAPD said a woman picked up the dog and ran. She got into a white sedan where another person was waiting and they drove off.
Ali Zacharias, the dog's owner, tried to stop the thieves by jumping onto the hood of the car.
She was seen clinging onto the car as it sped down the road. She later fell off and the thieves got away with her dog.
