"He picks her up her up [and] shows me his gun and gets in the car and laughs and zooms off, and I’m like, ‘man don’t take my dog.' And that car turns its headlights on and they both zoom off down the street.
Chris thinks the thief was about 16 years old.
"He was very nervous, that’s why I kinda took a step back when he showed me the gun because it looked like he was ready to use it."
The puppy hasn’t been seen since. Harley Quinn also has a very distinctive white diamond on her back. The Martins are hoping someone sees her and helps her get home to where she belongs.
"Our kids miss her," Chris pleaded.
