(CBS) PITTSBURGH - When a Pittsburgh woman stopped for 15 minutes to get a cup of coffee Tuesday, someone stole her one-year-old Chihuahua-terrier mix, Sasha, out of her car, said CBS Pittsburgh..

"Someone took my dog," 22-year-old Dominique Bellisario said.  "She's everything, my baby."

When Bellisario and her aunt left the coffee shop,  they found Bellisario's empty car and Sasha's heart-shaped tag on the sidewalk, reported the station.

CBS Pittsburgh said that Bellisario locked the car before she went into the coffee shop but she left the windows open slightly.

According to the pet owner a witness "said she saw a man carrying a dog, and she saw the man drop the leash and the collar right there where the bike is," said the station.

Bellisario has been passing out flyers that offer a reward for the missing dog and posting them around her community.
