Dog of Local Influencer Austin Eater Is Missing After Car Theft

This morning, Austin influencer Taylor Hannan announced that his car had been stolen with his dog, Noodles, still inside of it.

The content creator behind @austineater had been preparing to leave for a road trip to Indiana around 4:45 a.m. on July 25, and his 8-year-old terrier mix was in the vehicle. While the car was running, Hannan went into his Southeast Austin apartment to grab Noodles’ bed. As he returned, he saw someone wearing a black hoodie jump into the car and speed away.

The red Honda Civic has the Texas license plate number NGC 0023. It was last seen in South Austin along I-35 between the cross streets of Woodward and Oltorf streets.

Hannan is working with local dog rescue group TRAPRS to try to locate his missing dog. Noodles is a male terrier mix that is described as a friendly yet shy dog. The canine is chipped and neutered and was not wearing a collar or harness at the time of his disappearance. If anyone spots the missing canine or has more information, TRAPRS has asked them to call 844-287-2777.
