Police have identified two Florida women accused of nabbing a service dog from a Vietnam veteran last month.
The Osceola County Sheriff’s Office responded to a call on Oct. 28 that a Pomeranian service dog had disappeared without a trace. Its owner: a 67-year-old Vietnam veteran with post-traumatic stress disorder.
Surveillance video shows one woman starting an altercation with the victim, while the other comes from behind, unleashes the dog, named Kira, and walks off with her, according to a press release from the sheriff’s office.
Jennifer Gotschall, 53, and Monique Cosser, 51, were identified Wednesday after a tip to police from a “concerned citizen” led them to the pair. Kira was also recovered “in good health,” police say.
The victim, who has not been identified, was in Old Town with his two Pomeranian service dogs at the time of the incident.
Gotschall and Cosser have been charged with grand theft, a third-degree felony punishable by up to five years' incarceration. Officials said they are thought to have been released on bond.

KISSIMMEE, Fla. (WOFL FOX 35) - A Vietnam War veteran, whose service dog was stolen last month, has died before he was able to be reunited with the Pomeranian which was recovered by authorities this week.
Two Florida women are accused of stealing the dog from a 67-year-old Joseph Hanson. A spokesman with the Osceola County Sheriff’s Office says the day they recovered the dog, the veteran was in the hospital. He died the next day and never got to see his dog, Kira. The dog is now with a family friend.
Hanson was at Old Town in Kissimmee on Oct. 28 with his two Pomeranian service dogs when a woman started an altercation with him. A few minutes later, he realized Kira was gone. Surveillance video showed another woman behind him unleashing the dog.
Officials say they were able to so a tip from a concerned citizen, and on Wednesday, investigators obtained search warrants and arrested Jennifer Gotschall and Monique Cosser. They face grand theft charges.

What dirt bags!
String ‘em up
They’d love it in jail, especially if they get the same cell. Sick *itches.
That photo of him in my post 1 in the red shirt with the caption identifying him as Joseph Hanson was from a different source than the article. His ID apparently was not yet known at the time of the article.
They look gay.
Officials think they’ve been released? Officials don’t know?
Put them in a cage with hungry pit bulls to teach them a lesson to leave others’ pets alone.
What did he die from? Article doesn’t say, or if it was related to the crime.
These bitches need to die.
I don’t know. Have no time to check now.
How terribly sad. Bless his soul Sweet Jesus Dear Lord. And the wonderful pompom doggies and this man’s family.
I guess that they’re in possession of a hot dog.
I hope these dykes get the five year sentence
