Dog's wheelchair stolen from family's porch
The dog's owner says Charley the dog uses the chair nearly all the time and is wondering where it went.

LONG BEACH, Wash. -- Someone in Washington state stole a wheelchair from a disabled dog.

The dog's owner says "Charley" uses the wheelchair pretty much all the time. Monday night, someone came by and swiped the chair and a ramp from the family's front porch.

Leoni Wolfe, the dog's owner, said, "He'll try to sit up, and he doesn't understand why he can't get in his chair. ... I don't know what's happening with the world. People just seem to be taking more and more from each other."

Luckily, a family friend created a GoFundMe account and it's already raised enough money to replace Charley's wheelchair.
