Little Rock police were looking Friday for a man who took a dog from its owner's yard last week, according to a tweet from the Little Rock Police Department.

The owner's miniature poodle Vino was found Friday with noticeable injuries, including a broken leg, police said.

Department authorities say the dog disappeared from a home on Mountain Drive after its owner let it out into the yard about 6 p.m. on Sept. 11.

Police reviewed footage of a food delivery that was made nearby about the same time to determine that the dog had been stolen, the release said.

The dog's owner contacted police after discovering the canine missing. Police later determined that the dog thief was looking to get a reward for the dog's return, according to the statement.

The man sought in the case is facing a theft by receiving charge and possible charges related to the dog's injuries.
