Zulma Solis is desperate to find her beloved dog Rambo.
The 5-year-old chihuahua Solis has had since he was 2 months old was inside her car when the vehicle was stolen from the parking lot of a New Jersey liquor store Thursday.
"I'm sure he's missing me as much as I'm missing him," Solis told NBC 4 New York Friday. "I want him back, I can't imagine my life without him."
Solis says she parked her 2014 Acura ILX around 7 p.m., and left it running and unlocked when she dashed into the store on Tonnelle Avenue in North Bergen to grab a bottle of wine. She says she kept an eye on the car except for a brief moment when a thief slipped in and drove out of the parking lot with Rambo.
"It hit me my car had been stolen with my dog inside," Solis says. "I wasn't thinking about the car, that was my last thought."
The store's owner says police took surveillance video.
"I don't care about the car, you can keep the car," Solis said in a plea to the thief. "Just bring him back to me, that's all I care about."
