Dog Theft is on the increase

[Catherine]

This is very disturbing. I think you are right, we are hearing about more thefts.
Your safety list is very good. Dogs are so vulnerable when they are tied up outside a store. Leaving them in a car is the worst. It is dangerous even if they don't get stolen.

It would be so frightening to have a dog stolen. You would never be sure why it was taken and what was done to it.

It would be a lifetime of regret if you lost a dog that way. Better to be safe than sorry and take some safety precautions for your dog.

I must look and see if I can find any articles about the numbers of thefts.
