Hermosa Beach Patch's sister site Venice Patch has asked for our help finding one of its local celebrities, Austin "the Fly N' Lion."
Austin is a 12-pound, sable-colored Pomeranian. If you've ever been to Venice Beach, you might have seen the petite pooch performing with his owner and trainer Johnny Mitchell.
Austin is suspected to have been dog-napped from outside a Venice Beach restaurant on Dec. 9. His owner suspects that whoever has Austin has taken him somewhere else -- maybe even to Hermosa.
If you have any information, please call 310-484-8750. There is a $1,500 reward being offered for Austin's return.
