CLAYTON, N.C. (WNCN) — A dog is safely back home a day after his owner says he was taken right out of her Johnston County front yard by someone delivering groceries to her house. Trisha Smith credits a security camera video and a group of supportive moms for bringing her beloved dog, Max, back home. The 12-year-old maltipoo is soaking up the snuggles after a terrifying night for his family. Walmart delivery driver caught masturbating in South Carolina woman’s driveway after dropping off groceries, lawsuit claims “I haven’t slept at all. My kids haven’t slept at all. We’ve all been crying, upset, worried,” said Smith. “Didn’t know if we’d ever see him again. It’s been a nightmare.” Shortly after her Instacart delivery driver dropped off groceries late Sunday morning, Smith noticed Max was missing. “My son had just let him out about within a minute -  30 seconds to a minute’s time -- before the groceries got here,” she said. “We looked all over the house. We couldn’t find him.” That’s when she checked the security camera video. On it, you can hear a woman’s voice, just before Max trots through Smith’s front yard. The next video shows a woman holding the dog in her arms. She walks out of the frame, and then walks back to the front door with groceries, according to the video. Smith said the woman caught on camera was the Instacart delivery driver who was shopping for her groceries. The camera caught the woman knocking briefly on the door, but  Smith said no one in the family heard it, and Smith said the woman did not wait around or message her on the app they were using to communicate about the grocery order to alert her about the dog. Smith contacted the Johnston County Sheriff’s Office and Instacart and also turned to social media. She posted on the Clayton Moms Facebook page, “Within 5 or 10 minutes I had people messaging me left and right,” she said. They figured out the woman’s identity and how to reach her. Some members even helped search for Max. “We looked everywhere because we were afraid that maybe he was left out in the cold,” Smith relayed. No one could find Max on Sunday or overnight. It’s still not clear what happened or where Max was during that time. By Monday morning, Smith says the woman who took Max called and said she would bring Max back to Smith’s house. Smith called the sheriff’s office, and photos show a deputy meeting the woman outside Smith’s house and approaching the house with the woman as she returned the dog.  Smith believes the attention her post received on social media led to Max’s return. “I can only thank the Clayton Moms on Facebook because I feel like we would never have gotten here without them,” she stated. “They really did show up.” CBS 17 is not identifying the woman accused of taking the dog because she has not been charged with a crime. But a CBS 17 crew did go by her listed address to try to find out more about what happened. No one answered the door.  The Johnston County Sheriff’s Office says this investigation is ongoing.  Instacart also released a statement: "We take these kinds of claims very seriously, and are in touch with both the customer and shopper. We’re unable to provide any additional details as this is an ongoing investigation.”   While Smith is grateful to have Max home, she said she wants to see the woman who took him charged. “Always, always, if you find a dog close to their house on their property, wait till you speak with the owner before you just take someone’s dog and leave,” Smith urged. “That’s stealing someone’s family member.”
