In Los Angeles, California, a woman displayed immense bravery by clinging onto the hood of a moving car after a thief snatched away her cherished French bulldog.
On January 18, an event took place outside a Whole Foods supermarket where a woman went up to Ali Zacharias, who was accompanied by her dog, and forcibly took the pet away from her.
The woman transported Onyx, her dog, to a white car that was being operated by another person.
Fearlessly, Zacharias was determined to prevent the thieves from escaping with Onyx. He bravely leaped onto the car's hood and held on tightly as it raced through a bustling street in Los Angeles.

Zacharias recounted that he firmly decided not to release his grip on the car and clung onto the windshield wipers. Without realizing it, the car started moving down the street and accelerating, causing Zacharias to panic and fear for his life. This account was shared by Zacharias with CBS News.
A viral video capturing the incident depicts Zacharias clinging onto the car's hood.
Zacharias recounted the situation to NBC News in a TikTok video, explaining that when the person pulled on the leash, she initially thought they just wanted her dog to sniff something. Consequently, she let go of the leash. However, when she looked up, she saw a woman holding her dog and walking away with him. Determined to retrieve her dog, Zacharias positioned herself in front of the car and informed the woman that she could not leave with her dog. In response, the individuals driving the car proceeded to drive towards her, eventually causing her to fall onto the hood of the car. Even after falling on the hood, Zacharias refused to give up and declared that she would not leave until her dog was returned to her. Despite her efforts, the individuals in the car continued to drive away.
Regrettably, Zacharias' brave attempt to save his cute dog did not succeed. He managed to hold on for a short distance before the car suddenly changed direction, causing him to be thrown off. As a result, he received some minor injuries like cuts and bruises. Unfortunately, Onyx, the dog, is still nowhere to be found.
"No matter what I'm doing, it saddens me that I can't do it with Onyx or that he's not able to experience it. Even when I'm grocery shopping, I think about how I'm not getting anything for him. It feels like time has flown by so fast. It feels like this just occurred, and yet it's already been 10 days," she expressed.
As per CBS news, the Los Angeles Police Department is currently engaged in investigating the criminal activity, which involves the examination of security footage.
