A San Francisco woman is offering a $7,000 reward and has hired a plane to fly over the city to search for her blue-eyed miniature Australian Shepherd stolen from outside a grocery store recently.
The plane, which cost an additional $1,200 to fly a banner with the website she set up to find her dog, Jackson.
Emilie Talermo said she has been doing everything she can to find her 5-year-old dog. “I am just one person and I really need help getting the word out there,” Talermo said.
Surveillance video from the grocery store shows a man in a hoodie approaching the bench where Jackson was tied up.
Talermo and her friends have distributed thousands of flyers with the photo of the 28-pound (13-kilogram) dog with a white, black, and grey fur and bright blue eyes.
She set up a website, www.bringjacksonhome.com, where she’s offering a $7,000 reward, “no questions asked,” and even opened an account for the sweet-faced dog on Tinder. “He’s always with me. It’s a very real love,” Talermo said, her voice breaking. “I just need help finding him.”

To help finance her search, Talermo launched a GoFundMe, where she has raised more than $7,000. She plans to donate the extra money to Rocket Dog Rescue.
Talermo said she got the 5-year-old Jackson in New York. They moved to Los Angeles and then to San Francisco.
