Cowboys' Whitehead says dog was kidnapped, is being held for ransom

Dallas Cowboys wideout Lucky Whitehead is turning to social media for help after what he describes as a crime involving his dog.

Whitehead posted to his Instagram account Sunday claiming that his dog, Blitz, was stolen from him and is being held for ransom by someone who has demanded money.

I've taken some time to collect my thoughts on this subject matter, and it's very heartbreaking to say that Blitz has been stolen from my home last Sunday. While out of town, Blitz was being taken care of by a close friend at my house and someone broke in and took him. Whomever stole Blitz has contacted my phone numerous times, demanding ransom money. I strongly advise you to stop and return my boy safely before it gets any worse! If you know of any details regarding Blitz's whereabouts or who may be involved in this, please contact me immediately. '" #repost
