Newton and Savannah’s father, Jerry Savala, would like for the person caught on tape to return the family pet as Savanna has had some long nights without her friend.
“She isn’t even able to sleep,” Savala said. “She’s had maybe six hour of sleep, which affects us ‘cause we’re not sleeping. We’re up dealing with the situation.”
Like most families these days, Newton and Savala have enough on their minds trying to keep their family safe. Now, they have even more to worry about.
“Everyone supposed to be coming together, staying safe,” Savala said. “Now you can’t have your dog out in your own yard no more?”
The family describes Boots as a 2-year-old female black pit bull-Lab mix. Boots has white on all four of her paws and on her chest, and she is microchipped.
The family is offering a $1,000 reward for the safe return of their dog and asks anyone who knows anything about Boots to call 1-531-213-7314.
They say they just want their dog back — no questions asked.
