Stratford Family's Stolen Dog Still Missing, Effort Turns to Facebook

A Stratford family's effort to find their 7-year-old yellow lab "Bella" has turned to Facebook.

The Facebook page Bring Bella Home intends to do just that.

It's been one week since Bella was reportedly stolen from a car in the parking lot of a Home Depot in Derby. The family has offered a "no questions asked" $500 reward for the return of their dog, who they say has medical issues and needs medication. But no one has yet come forward.

"Today will be a week that she has gone without her medication," a Monday morning post on the Facebook page reads. "My father has viewed 7 hours of video footage in the Home Depot parking lot, flyers were placed on all of the poles in the Home Depot area, as well as in Stratford where we believe she may have been seen.

"We continue to push on but are losing hope. Bring Bella Home."

Bella was believed to have been spotted on Colony Street in Stratford on Friday, according to a post on the Facebook page.

The family asks that Stratford residents who use Facebook share the page with neighbors. Click here to be taken to the page. The family also can be reached at 203.520.3518.
