I was watching the news last night and in my area alone there has been 12 dog-napping incidents...this year, I think they said. Last week a couple came to a respectable Aussie breeder (well, the news said "Respectable, experienced breeder", but seeing as the event following this doesn't seem too experienced.....). The couple was "ooing and awwing" over the pup they wanted to buy, and they asked if they could show the pup to the wife's grandmother in the
car. So the breeder agreed and moments later had lost that puppy because there was nobody else in the car and the couple took off.
Makes me so sad for the puppies that get taken away...my prayers are with them. And
so angry at the idiots who steal them...*breathe*...
