This happened around 10:30 a.m. Sunday at the Willow Oak Townhome Complex.
Officials tell Eyewitness News the girl was at the complex with her dog when a man came up to them, tried to grab the girl by her arm and take her.
Police say the dog, named Ray, then bit the suspect on the leg. The man drove off in his vehicle.
The girl's family shared surveillance photos of a man in what appears to be a dark grey SUV.
Authorities are working to confirm if that is the suspect, who is still on the loose.
