For the next two days, Jessica drove around Brooklyn putting up missing posters for her elderly dog, Fidel. Despite her efforts, she couldn’t find him. She also asked her friends on social media to help find Fidel by sharing his missing poster.

She went to the location where they saw a couple walking Fidel casually. Jessica didn’t want to argue or take any risk of losing her pet. When her friend saw the couple, they immediately got out of the car and took Fidel from them. Jessica and her friend closed the door after getting the dog. The angry couple hit their window with a skateboard, but Jessica and her friend drove away safely.
Jessica thinks that the couple might have obtained or purchased Fidel from someone else, and the actual person who stole the dog is still unidentified.
