Zoey, the name of the Border Collie, is brown and white with freckles, a red nose, and a collar. Police are currently scouring the area for CCTV footage.
Her owner is “extremely upset and understandably he’s concerned for the well-being of his beloved pet.”
Police have also publicly shared the licence plate of the vehicle.
