Toronto police are asking the public for help in finding Princess, a service dog who was stolen from outside a McDonald’s in the city’s west end early Sunday morning.

Police said officers responded to a call around 2 a.m. about a stolen dog in the Bloor Street West and Ossington Avenue area.

Owner Ashley-Victoria Martineau said she was on her way home from Canada Day celebrations when she decided to stop at a McDonald’s for a coffee.

She said she came out five minutes later and the Teacup Chihuahua had been unclipped from her harness and taken.

“I’m really stressed out, worried about her. I’m thinking about possible worst case scenarios,” said Martineau to Global News.

Princess is described as six years old, weighing six lbs with medium-brown hair and blonde stripes. She was wearing a pink body harness at the time.
