WASHINGTON — A D.C. family is asking for the community’s help locating their fur baby after being robbed at gunpoint.
MPD is searching for the suspects that stole the dog in the 300 block of Anacostia Road, Southeast Tuesday afternoon.
At 3 p.m., officers responded to a call regarding an armed robbery in progress. When they arrived at the scene, they found a shoeless victim who claimed his dog was stolen.
The victim told officers he was walking his dog when multiple robbers approached him. One of the suspects pulled out a gun and they demanded he give up his puppy and sneakers.

The suspects can be seen on camera holding the puppy on nearby surveillance cameras.
