A family that lives near Ocoee is searching for its dog, who disappeared after a July 20 break-in at the home.

Remy, a medium-sized, tan goldendoodle mix, was last seen near Good Homes Road and Colonial Drive. Her owners are Keven and Rori Whittington.

Keven Whittington arrived at home after work around 3:50 p.m. the day of the break-in. He first noticed that the door from the garage to the house was inexplicably open. When he saw that the glass on the back door was broken, he concluded that there had been a break-in. The front door was also cracked open.

The living room TV, a camera, a guitar and jewelry were missing. The Whittingtons believe the burglar or burglars could have taken Remy, along with the valuables.

“We are confident that if she did get outside and she did get loose, she would have come back,” Rori Whittington said. “She knows where there’s love; she knows where the food is.”

Remy’s distinguishing features are a white speck in one of her brown eyes, and a green tattoo on her underside from when she was spayed. She is about four years old, and she is not afraid of people.

Rori Whittington’s parents rescued Remy in 2013 in Alabama and brought her to Florida to give to the Whittingtons.

“She’s just our precious dog, and our little boy, who is now 20 months old, just started to learn to play with her and hug her good-bye,” Rori Whittington said.

If you find Remy or have information related to the crime, contact the Whittingtons at (407) 466-6680 or Orange County Sheriff’s Office at (407) 836-4357.
