Ever worried about your dog getting stolen?

A friend of mine is a dog trainer and owns many dogs herself. She usually takes a few of her dogs along with her to her dog training classes in a pet store. One day when she was in the store with her dogs, someone grabbed one and tried to walk out of the building with the dog under his arm. Luckily, she caught the man before it was too late.

I didn't know that dog stealing is common.

I also found a news article about a dog theft that happened in London.

If you like to leave your dog off-leash in a park, you might want to be extra careful about someone stealing your pet, especially if your dog is very friendly to strangers!
