A deaf man has been left heartbroken after his beloved dog was stolen at a Pride event.
André Kedroe has been walking the streets day and night to find his French bulldog Skyla Blu.
He is classed as a vulnerable person and his pooch is his support dog.
The 33-year-old - who thinks his drink was spiked - also had his hearing aids pinched.
They were taken by a callous thief in a bag that contained his passport, money and glasses too.
André took Skyla Blu - a female tri-colour Frenchie in blue, lilac and tan - along to celebrate Pride last Saturday in Soho, central London.

He doesn't remember anything after 11pm and woke up at home in Lewisham hours later to find his beloved pooch and bag were gone.
He has “no recollection or idea what happened” but is devastated to be left without Skyla Blu.
He said: “I try to be kind to everyone and can’t understand why this has happened.
“If someone has my dog I’m pleading with them to return her to me.”
When stolen, Skyla Blu was wearing a reflective harness with a black and rose gold lead.
All relevant agencies have been informed of her theft and she is registered on Doglost.
According to friends, André is doing an intense amount of work with volunteers to be reunited with his pet.
Despite being shaken up from the horrifying ordeal, he has vowed to not give up until she is found.
The Met Police has been approached for comment.
