Missing dog Ella leaves Cape Coral family heartbroken during vacation

CAPE CORAL, Fla. (WINK) — A South Florida family's spring break trip has turned into a heartbreaking search after their dog disappeared from an Airbnb while they were out for dinner.

Fernando Vallecillo says his family left their rental for less than two hours. When they returned, the door was unlocked and their dog, Ella, was gone.

Neighbor surveillance video shows a car pulling into the driveway while they were out. Minutes later, Ella was seen wandering alone across the street.

Vallecillo believes someone may have entered the home and let her out.

"She's everything to us… she's not just a pet… she's my service animal… we just want her back," Vallecillo said.

The family has filed a police report, searched local shelters and posted flyers across Cape Coral.

They're now offering a reward, hoping someone will help bring Ella home.
