For many people it is as upsetting as if they'd had their child stolen. So the question to ask is, "Would I leave my three-year-old tied up outsde a shop?"
It's difficult, as it can mean not taking the dog along when shopping has to be done (unless there are two people) Some people look on the walk down to the store as one of the dog's daily walks. Or are on their way somewhere else and have to leave the dog in the car while shopping. But with all the dangers about nowadays, those routines maybe should be changed.
There have even been cases of house break-ins when dogs were stolen. But they are less common so I have heard.
I used to lock up the house well, if ever I had to leave Misty at home for any reason, and go out (such as to the dentist.) I was never really happy until I was back home again!
