HOTS
HOTS read that a CBS News reporter tracked down a golden retriever who was stolen from outside a restaurant. Before they entered the eatery, the Mathias family tied the leash of their dog, Lucy, to a tree. However, surveillance footage captured a woman untying Lucy, dragging the poor pooch to her truck, and driving away.
