<\/a>A NEW JERSEY family is asking the public\u2019s help locating \u201cMilo\u201d an almost 6-month-old Mini Goldendoodle dog who was stolen by two thieves at West Fordham Road and Webb Avenue in the Fordham section of The Bronx on Friday, Nov. 28, 2025.Flier shared on the Nextdoor platform by the owner of Milo, the dog<\/p>\n
The NYPD is looking for two men who scooped up a puppy in the Fordham Manor section of The Bronx, while it was out for a walk and sped away on a moped leaving a New Jersey family devastated.<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
According to an NYPD spokesperson, the theft took place at the corner of Webb Avenue and West Fordham Road, near Devoe Park. \u201cA 60-year-old male reported to police that on (Friday) Nov. 28, at approximately 12.30 hours, he was walking his dog in the vicinity of Webb Avenue and West Fordham Road when an individual approached him, picked up his dog, and fled the scene,\u201d the spokesperson said.<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cThe individual fled with another individual on a 2-wheeled vehicle to parts unknown,\u201d the spokesperson added, noting that there were no arrests in the case, but that police are continuing to investigate.<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
According to a social media post on the Nextdoor platform by the family who own the dog named \u201cMilo,\u201d he is a male Mini Goldendoodle and is nearly six months old, has reddish\u2013golden fur, and has a white spot on his chest. They said he was wearing a blue collar and a red harness at the time he was taken. They said the dog answers to his name, Milo.<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
The post continued in part, \u201cOur family is very devastated and shocked by this occurrence. Any help from the community would be greatly appreciated!\u201d<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
Responses to the post were mostly sympathetic, with Eunice Vanderhorst writing, \u201cI would be devastated if this happened to us! I am so sorry. You can\u2019t feel safe even walking your dog. Horrible! Mopeds should be outlawed.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
Offering little comfort to the family, Brianna Ebbecke wrote, \u201cI am not trying to be mean or anything but there\u2019s really little hope at this point. He probably stole the dog to either resell him or just torture or kill him.\u201d The comment concluded, \u201cI\u2019m so sorry this happened; people are evil.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
Milo\u2019s actual owner, a man who declined to be identified, explained that he works in the area of West Fordham Road and was at the scene when the incident took place, but someone from the area was actually walking the dog for him at the time of the theft.<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
The dog owner told Norwood News, \u201cI handed him to one of the guys to take him for a walk and it happened.\u201d The owner continued, \u201cHe\u2019s a very friendly dog and he went to them and they picked him up and took him.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
Anyone with any information on Milo\u2019s whereabouts is asked to call the owner at (201) 633-8425.<\/p>\n
