Dog owner EMILY CONNORS risked her life to save her beloved pet after it was stolen out of her Atlanta home and held for ransom.
A day after Plato, a 7-year-old Maltese, was snatched in mid- August, the dastardly dognapper sent heartbroken Emily a terrifying photo of her pooch with a gun to its head and a note demanding $3,000!
Amazingly, not only did the gutsy makeup artist get her adorable dog back alive and unharmed, but she managed to bargain the gunman down to $1,000!
“It wasn’t the money that mattered to me,” Emily, 53, told The ENQUIRER in an exclusive interview. “I would have paid anything to get my little dog back. I couldn’t live without her, she’s family.
“But I was so mad when this creep started sending me text messages saying, ‘Where’s my money?’ And I’m thinking, ‘It’s not your money – it’s MINE!’”
