Our Story

Two good friends Ali and Louie decided to co-parent a puppy.  When they saw Onyx they fell in love.

One beautiful day, Ali was eating at Whole Food with Onxy and, all of a sudden, a woman ran up and grabbed Onyx’s leash from her hand under the table, grabbed Onyx, and ran back into her car a few feet away.  In a panicked state, Ali ran after her, but it was too late, four big people locked Onyx into the car.  Without any other recourses, Ali stood in front of their car trying to stop them from driving off, but the criminal ran into her forcing h onto the hood of their car where she hung on for dear life as they accelerated to a high speed. She thought she was going to die.

Once they swerved Ali off the car to the ground with nothing but scrapes and fear, they screeched off intro the distance with her dear little puppy Onyx.

Nobody seemed to care about her story, they were just upset she lost Onyx.  About a week later, out of nowhere, they saw this whole ride on social media!  Someone had captured the moment on video exposing the shrilling ride.  People went wild and it went viral!  A whole media frenzy arose and Ali interviewed with every news station starting with KTLA, to TMZ and finally to CNN!  The story aired locally, then nationally, and before they knew it, it was world wide news.

This caused her to start the foundation, "Dont Take My Dog," Who's purpose was to:

1. Find Onyx

2. Change the law defining dogs as property

3. And to create a process to assist future victims of dognapping. 

Ali's dad Steve introduced her to his colleagues Ross Sheldon and Jeff Gund to manager her and take this powerful initiative to the most effective level engaging Hollywood’s support.

We are all excited and hopeful to make a powerful, positive, impact.
