A Manhattan yoga instructor is waging a desperate𒁃 search for her beloved 4-year-old Pomeranian — after the pooch was kidnapped from h🌊er at the farmers market in Union Square.
Michelle Martin, 28, was shopping for produce with and her three other dogs on March 27 when the canine got out of sight and was apparently snatched up bജy an unknown fiend, she told The Post Monday.
“I was horrified,” Martin said. “I thought,ඣ OK, there was no way the dog would have run away . . . I thought someone had found her and was looking for the owner.ไ”
Martin said shꦚe asked her Yoga student who was shopping with her to help hunt for little Mala.
She al♌so began shouting out the dog’s name — but nothing worked.
“That’s when the fear started🥀 to set in that she might really be gone,” 🍃Martin said.
Soon, another shopper approached Martin and told her that Mala — who was not on a leash at the time — had been grabbed b🎀y a dognapper.
“Someone told me they saw s🍸omeone pick her up and walk o꧋ut with her,” Martin said.
෴She called 911 and told 🤪the whole story to police, including the witness’ account of how Mala had been abducted.
Martin, who lives in Gramercy,🐠 said she visited the 13th Precinct on Monday to follow up — and offic⛦ers told her a detective would be investigating Mala’s disappearance.
Police said Monday afterওnoon that Martin told them she was at the market when one of her dogs got swept ꦦup in the crowd and she lost sight of it.
They had no information, however, about the witness’ claꦫim that the dog was 🎀kidnapped.
Martin has goꦺtten so desperate to be reunited with little Mala that she’s even contacted🍸 a psychic.
“[My psychic] believes [the thief] lives in🔜 Brooklyn, had just gotten out of jail and had stolen the dog for one of his children,” she said.
The search for Mala even got some celebrity star power, as a the rapper T.I. — who is a friend of a friend of Martin —
“Attn NYC . . . Please help my good friends bring their loved dog home,” he said in a post put up Monday.
Mala has been a constant companion for Martin over the years, and has accompanied her on trips to places such as the Oregon wilderness, Puerto Rico and Guatamala. The other three dogs that were with her at the farmer’s market were Mala’s mate, Munay and their 🐼two pups Morrig🦩an and Merlin. All of them were on leashes.
Martin posted fliers abou🍎t her missing pup in♒ each of the branches of the Y7 Studio, where she teaches yoga.
She is offering a $3,ꦏ000 reward for Mala’s safe return.
