Two dogs were found alone at Will Rogers State Beach on July 9, sparking concerns about their missing owner.
Paolo Moreno, who discovered the dogs near Temescal Canyon Road, also found a bag containing dog food, a swimsuit, and other personal items in a nearby women’s restroom. The discovery left Moreno worried about the possibility of an abduction at the beach.
Moreno contacted the Los Angeles Police Department and spoke with a senior lead officer, who noted the unusual circumstances of the belongings. The officer confirmed that there were no missing-person reports from the beach that day. Moreno initially thought the dogs might belong to someone experiencing homelessness, but checks at nearby encampments yielded no leads. The dogs, described as clean and healthy, wore matching, expensive harnesses. Moreno took them to a vet, but neither was microchipped.
In an effort to identify the dogs’ owner, Moreno searched for surveillance cameras in the area but found none. He has since been posting flyers, hoping someone will recognize the dogs and help solve the mystery. “It’s scary,” Moreno said. “God forbid something happened to her. I have two adult daughters, and it’s really concerning.” Moreno hopes that sharing the dogs’ story will generate leads and bring clarity to the situation.
According to Fox LA, Moreno is urging the public to help identify the dogs’ owner and determine what happened.
