VOLUSIA COUNTY, Fla. - A suspected "prank" caused one Florida family to lose one of their loved ones: their beloved Yorkie, Spooky.
Yorkie, Spooky, was hit and killed a road after someone kicked in a door, letting him out of his home.
What we know:
Officials say someone kicked open a homeowner's door – kicking the door off the hinges – and allowing the family's dog to escape. The dog, a Yorkshire Terrier, was later hit and killed by a car in the road.
On Dec. 5, a homeowner came home to find Spooky, 3, missing.

"My door was open, and then I see the frame was outside the door – I think in front of the door," the homeowner said.
Now, the dog's family is saying they believe Spooky's death was a result of a viral door-kicking challenge, in which teens have been arrested for committing across Florida.
A suspect caught on surveillance video.
