A Lower Mainland man is desperate to find his dog after it was stolen, along with his truck and camper, from a Langford job site early Thursday morning.
Nugget, a three-month-old Pomeranian puppy, was inside a camper on the back of a pickup truck while his owner, who did not want to be identified, installed insulation at a building on Spencer Road near Goldstream Avenue.
He discovered the truck and camper were gone at around 6 a.m. and called RCMP to report the theft.
Later Thursday, he said the camper was reportedly found dumped in Shawnigan Lake — but Nugget was not inside.
The stolen truck is a grey Ford F250 pickup truck with licence plate PM7621.
Nugget has brown fur on his head and ears, with a white patch around his mouth and nose, and a white body.
His owner says Nugget is loving to everyone he meets, and that he’s “torn up” about the theft.
“All I want is my dog. That’s it. Take my truck, obviously my camper is going to be a write-off at this point, take my tools out of it, take everything out of it, just give me my dog,” he said.
A picture of Nugget posted on the Facebook group ROAM (Reuniting Owners with Animals Missing) has been shared more than 1,000 times.
The group says there is a “substantial reward” for information leading to the puppy’s safe return.
Anyone who sees the truck or dog is asked to call ROAM at 778-977-6260 or 778-977-6265.
On Friday, police also confirmed they’re investigating, and are asking anyone who sees the dog or truck to contact them at 250-474-2264.
