A West Palm Beach, Florida woman is desperately searching for her beloved Yorkshire puppy after the car she was driving was stolen with the dog inside.

As Palm Beach County Sheriff's deputies search for the vehicle, the woman is hoping the public can help her search for her dog.

Jennifer Aguilar pulled up to a Shell gas station Tuesday evening.

Within seconds, Aguilar's loaner vehicle and her little Yorkie were gone.

Surveillance video shows two men walking outside the gas station moments before Aguilar pulled up.

She had parked at the pump closest to the store.

Aguilar says she left her loaner vehicle, a white 2008 Toyota SUV, running while she ran inside the gas station store for a drink.

"I was in such a rush. I jumped out. The gas station was empty," she recalled.

The two men were waiting at the table nearby.

The quickly jumped in the running vehicle and sped off.

Jennifer says Louie is her service dog, a dog Doctor's recommended she get to help battle depression.

Louie goes everywhere with her.

Louie sings with her.

He helps her through the day and in turn, is spoiled in every way.

Jennifer says her 10-month-old, 4.5 pound Yorkie is always dressed to the tee.

"Louie is everything to me. So if I don't get my dog back, my life is pointless so its pretty much I need the dog back. There's no money that can replace him," said Aguilar.

Jennifer says besides the SUV and Louie, the thieves made off with Louis Vitton handbags, an i-Phone, and $2,000 in cash.

Louie was wearing a camouflage shirt when stolen and a $5,000 reward is being offered for his safe return.
