Police searching for a 14-year-old girl abducted during a break-in by two armed men have appealed for more information from the public.
Ayvani Hope Perez was snatched by the pair after they entered through a back door around 2am on Tuesday, officers in Atlanta said.
The men then demanded money and jewellery from her mother, authorities added.
When the woman said she did not have any, they took Ayvani from her home in Ellenwood, Clayton County.
One of the men shot and killed the dog because it was barking.
Sergeant Kevin Hughes from Clayton County police told Sky News: "We're still asking people for information and tips (about missing Ayvani)."
He said the FBI and state officials were among those taking part in the major search for the teenager.
Officers have also told Sky they do not believe the girl knew the suspects and it appeared to be a "random act".

Perez's aunt, Suky Guerrero, said family members were trying to raise the money to secure Ayvani's release, the Atlanta Journal-Constitution reported.
And a law enforcement official close to the investigation apparently confirmed the ransom to the newspaper.
But Clayton County police told Sky News they were unaware of the reported ransom until they were contacted by the media and could not confirm it to Sky News.
Ayvani was last seen in a grey car - a Dodge Charger or Chevy Malibu - that the men left in.
The teenager is described as Hispanic, with brown eyes and black hair.
She is described as 4ft 9in tall and weighs about six-and-a-half stone. She was wearing blue and grey Star Wars pyjama bottoms.
Police have been stopping and searching cars and were also using a helicopter in the search.
A child-abduction alert was also issued by authorities on Tuesday.
More than 150 people reportedly gathered in a circle and held hands in prayer at a candlelight vigil on Tuesday evening at Dutchtown High School in Hampton.
Many teenagers there - some of whom held posters with Ayvani's name and pictures of them with her - were her classmates at the school.
