The model girlfriend of Game of Thrones star Steven Cole today told of her despair after burglars kidnapped two pet Chihuahuas in a house raid.
Lori Buckby, 28, was watching comedian Jack Whitehall at the O2 arena with partner Cole – who plays Kovarro in the hit fantasy drama – when burglars swooped on their home in Mill Hill, north London.
The three teenage suspects also stole their £50,000 Porsche Boxster during the break-in at 7pm on Monday.
But while the car has since been found dumped in a West End street, dogs Lyla, two, and Alaska, one, are still missing.
An appeal has been tweeted to millions by celebrities including The Only Way is Essex’s Mario Falcone, Richard Rawson from N-Dubz, and Skins star Luke Pasqualino after Buckby appealed for help on micro-blogging Twitter.
She told the Standard: “I haven’t slept. I’ve been on Twitter, I’ve been driving around looking for them, it just doesn’t make any sense. I mean, if they are out there now, what are they doing to them?
“I just want them back alive. They come everywhere with us and I have them everywhere I go.
“They come in the car, they come on holidays with us because they have their own pet passports, they have their own little jumpers at Christmas, they’re just part of the family now and me and Steven have been together seven years.
“It’s like, you can take the car, but these are living animals. I just want them home. They are so helpless. They are just my life. I worry they may just dump them somewhere.”

She added: “We got a call while we were at the O2 saying the house had been burgled so we left and went straight back.
“I think they have probably been stolen for their value and so many people would want them. They totally ransacked the house.”
She said Cole was scouring the area in his car last night.
They believe they could be in Wood Green after a laptop which was also stolen was switched on and tracked there.
A Met spokesman said: “The suspects - described as three white males aged approximately late teens/early twenties - stole, amongst other things, the occupier’s two Chihuahua dogs and fled the scene in the occupier’s car - a white Porsche Boxster. The car was later found. There have been no arrests so far and the investigation continues.”
Anyone with information should call police via 101 or Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.
