A woman from San Francisco is reportedly offering $7,000 reward and has hired a plane to fly over the city to search for her blue-eyed miniature Australian Shepherd. According to international media reports, the dog was stolen from outside a grocery store. The plane which costed the woman additional $1,200 will also be flying a banner with the website she set up to find her missing dog. While talking to a media outlet, Emilie Talermo said that she had been doing everything to find her five-year-old dog.

According to reports, a surveillance video from the grocery store also shows a man in a hoodie approaching the bench where Jackson, the dog, was tied up. Talermo and her friends have reportedly also distributed thousands of flyers with the photo of the dog with a white, black, and grey fur and bright blue eyes. A website, www.bringjacksonhome.com, was further set up where Talermo is offering a $7,000 reward. She even opened an account for the dog on Tinder. The plane she hired will be flying a banner that will have the search website address on it and will circle over the city for two hours. To help finance her search, she also launched a GoFundMe. She further plans on donating the extra money to Rocket Dog Rescue.
