Overview
- Ring video captured a porch thief on Dec. 3 leaving a Fontana yard gate open shortly before the family’s dogs escaped, according to the owners.
- Blazer returned that night, but Sparky was found about two days later with severe wounds that veterinarians believe came from being struck and dragged by a vehicle.
- Doctors initially stitched Sparky’s injuries, but the damage and infection persisted, and veterinarians scheduled a leg amputation for Friday.
- The owners launched a GoFundMe with an $8,000 goal to help pay for Sparky’s emergency surgery and hospital care.
- David Lopez filed a police report and is asking the public to report sightings of the white Mercedes-Benz SUV with silver rims seen in the surveillance footage; no arrests have been reported.
