A woman took her dog on a date. The puppy was then stolen from her at gunpoint

A woman took her dog on a date but was ambushed by two men who held her at gunpoint and stole the puppy.

Allysha Green agreed to meet a man who said his name was “Trey” in southwest Atlanta on the evening of Oct. 17, she told 11Alive.

Green decided to take her three-month-old Cane Corso puppy, Kenji, with her.

She said she drove to the area where they met and ended up at a dead end.

Trey showed up minutes later and said they had a brief chat – during which he stroked Kenji and called him “cute” – before suddenly pointing a gun at her.

“I was shocked and literally thought I was going to die,” Green said.

“Don’t scream, don’t move, just do what we tell you and you can live,” the man allegedly told her.

For a moment she said she was puzzled by the use of the word “we,” but things soon became clear when she said a second man showed up and also pointed a gun at her.

Green said the two men, who appeared to be in their 20s, demanded she hand over cash and began searching her car for valuables. They also got them to open their phone banking app to see if they could transfer money to themselves.

When the thieves realized Green had no money, they grabbed Kenji instead.

She told 11Alive, “He came up to me, grabbed my leash and said, ‘Let the dog go because you don’t have any money, you just lost your dog.'”

They also stole her cell phone and told her to leave, warning her to look ahead, she said.

She watched in horror as Kenji was then thrown over the fence and the puppy disappeared along with the two gunmen, she said.

Atlanta police are investigating the incident and have asked anyone with information to come forward.
