One of the cops said they didn't know what they could do if they did catch them since they weren't successful and it would be the woman's word against theirs.


Why is that? What if it was her purse instead of her dog? If you try to commit a robbery and get caught before you succeed, then you get charged with attempted robbery! This totally pisses me off.

I really try NOT to be paranoid - Teagan loves walks, loves people, loves going to the pet store. She adores being petted and since she wasn't socialized much between the ages of birth and 2 years (previous owner), I am STILL working on this part of our relationship.

She's a happy dog, but overly territorial and I want that to stop - but stories like this one make me paranoid. I know we have to be aware of our surroundings...but I start getting hyper-sensitive to innocent people wanting to pet her and I'm afraid she can sense my apprehension, so she behaves badly. Sometimes it feels like a no-win situation. Sigh. Sorry to rant, but it can be so frustrating sometimes!
