“She’s my baby” | Resident hopes burglar will return stolen 14-year-old dog

HOUSTON. Helpless thought… a burglar steals tens of thousands of dollars worth of your belongings and livelihood and then takes your dog away.

Well, that’s exactly what Alief resident Alexandra Medellin said happened to her on Thursday night – all as she watched the scene while talking to police on the phone.

“Why would you take someone else’s dog like what what? What value does this represent to you?” Alexandra Medellin said. “It’s devastating. I don’t feel, I don’t feel like I don’t feel well.”

She said the burglar entered her home through the garage and used a hammer to break into her home. In the security camera video she shared with KHOU 11, the man can be seen closing the gate and then walking out of the house with the dog in hand.

Alexandra told her dog, a 14-year-old Yorkshire terrier, that she needed medication.

“She’s fixed. You cannot breed her. She has no teeth, her tongue sticks out. Like, I am the only person who will look at her and say: “This is the most beautiful precious dog in the whole world,” because she is my child,” Alexandra said.

She said her 5-year-old daughter, Anastasia, was by her side, crying as she watched the burglar take Lilly away.

This is my daughter’s sister. You know, like she’s an only child. So this is a member of our family,” Alexandra said.

The reason Alexandra wasn’t home was because she spent the entire day in the hospital with her father, who she says is being transferred to a hospice.

“[It] was already devastating enough, like, it takes all my energy, but for someone to enter your space and violate it, and take your dog, you know, like the most irreplaceable possession that you have, the most valuable thing in my in my heart,” Alexandra said.

She said the thieves didn’t just take her stuff, they took all of her equipment that she uses as a creative designer, including her lenses and her laptop.

“This is my main source of everything. Of course. No, I can’t, I can’t work now,” she said.

But she only asks for one thing, which she says is irreplaceable.

“I just want my dog ​​back. No questions were asked. I just want her back,” Alexandra said.

Alexandra said she filed a police report with the Harris County Sheriff’s Office. If you have any information regarding this case, you are strongly encouraged to contact them at 713-221-6000.
