In Los Angeles, California, a woman bravely clung onto the hood of a moving car to rescue her cherished French bulldog after it was stolen by a thief.
On January 18, an incident took place outside a Whole Foods supermarket where a woman confronted Ali Zacharias, the owner of a dog, and forcefully took the pet away.
The woman transported the dog, whose name was Onyx, to a white car that was being operated by another person.
Fearlessly, Zacharias was determined to apprehend the thieves who had stolen Onyx. He bravely leaped onto the car's hood and held on tightly as it raced through a crowded street in Los Angeles.

Zacharias recounted his experience, saying that he was determined not to release his grip on the windshield wipers while the car was in motion. Without realizing it, they started driving down the street and accelerating, causing him to panic for his safety.
Additionally, there is a widely circulated video capturing the incident, in which Zacharias can be seen clinging onto the car's hood.
In a TikTok video, Zacharias explained the incident to NBC News. Initially, when he pulled the leash, she thought he just wanted to smell something, so she let go. However, she then noticed a woman holding him and walking away. Determined to retrieve her dog, she stood in front of the car and firmly stated that they could not leave because they had her dog. Instead of complying, they chose to drive into her, causing her to fall onto the hood of their car. Even in this dangerous situation, Zacharias refused to back down and insisted that she would not leave until they returned her dog. Eventually, they drove away, leaving her without her pet.
Regrettably, Zacharias' brave attempt to save his cute puppy was unsuccessful. The puppy's owner managed to hold on for a short distance until the car suddenly changed direction and caused her to be thrown off, resulting in only minor cuts and bruises. Sadly, the puppy named Onyx is still nowhere to be found.
"No matter what I'm doing, I can't help but feel sad that I'm not doing it with Onyx or that he's not experiencing it. Even something as simple as grocery shopping makes me think about how I'm not buying anything for him. It feels like time has flown by so fast. It feels like this just happened, and yet it's already been 10 days," she expressed.
The crime being discussed is currently being investigated by the Los Angeles Police Department, who are actively looking into it and reviewing security footage as part of their investigation
