A Seattle man says his service dog was stolen after he was attacked in a grocery store in the city's Capitol Hill neighborhood.
According to KIRO-TV, Jeffrey Almes' 9-year-old service dog, Layla, was stolen last month in a confrontation with two men that was captured on surveillance video.
Video from Hillcrest Market allegedly shows two men confronting Almes, punching him and walking away with Layla.
"I've had her 9 years of her life, I got her when she was 6 weeks old. I've had her since she was a puppy to be my service dog," Almes said.
Layla has helped Almes since he was in a car accident a decade ago that left him with PTSD any time he's in a vehicle. He's still searching and trying to get her back.
Seattle police detectives are looking for leads and are checking in with Almes periodically.
Almes is still hoping for Layla's safe return.
