Dognapping After Hours

[Gemma]

That is quite frightening. What is society coming to when folks are scared to take their pets for a walk in fear that they are stolen - what is happening with these dogs - are they being used for breeding? Fighting? Or just sold on for a profit?

Just reading the local paper, two dogs stolen last week from the next village to me. One was pregnant with pups and stolen from the owner's garden, the other one was 7 months old.

Both these dogs have been found.

The 7 month old husky was found in the same village it was stolen from and the pregnant dog was found over 340 miles away in MANCHESTER!!

A professional dogwalker round our way says one of her dog handlers was chatting with some dog owners and walkers and there have been instances of men approaching them (with hoods up) and "cutely" asking about their dogs - breed, age, home setup etc as if they are trying to strike up a friendly conversation.

I won't take my Annie anywhere isolated or secluded but even the busy parks aren't safe anymore.

This is shocking. Absolute scumbags.
