Neman (pictured) was stolen while outside near Elm Street, said Allison Wood. DALLAS - Allison Wood said she is still in shock after her fiance took three of their Yorkshire terriers out for fresh air and a man snatched one of them.

The dogs were walking near the couple's home off of Elm Street when she said two men in a car pulled up and the passenger jumped out and grabbed the dog.

"It's not just a dog," Wood said. "He's like a child to me. I've had him for years. It's so sad that somebody would do that."

Wood said her fiance didn't think Neman, the stolen Yorkshire terrier, needed a leash since the dogs were going to the bathroom. But when Neman wandered ten feet away, she said it was just enough time and distance for the man to make a quick getaway with the animal.

"He's so upset, because you know, if he would have just had him on a leash that wouldn't have happened," she said. "But it was just one of those things. It happened so quick. He just really didn't expect it."

Wood put up fliers offering a reward for Neman. She said she believes the dog snatchers took the dog because he is a pure-bred Yorkshire terrier, which is worth more than a $1,000.

"This morning was horrible," she said. "But we'll work through it, and hopefully somebody will do the right thing."

She said from now on, her and her fiance will always keep their dogs on a leash.
