I heard that some people out there do this to help them scam. They take pictures of a dog. Post it on a craigslist type website and try and sell the dog and pass it off as their own. Meanwhile they in fact have no dog to sell and scam the person who is trying to purchase the pup from them. |
It so sad that we have become so paranoid about scammers that we aren't willing to allow people to photograph our dogs. I mean it would be easier enough for a scammer to get pictures off the web; they really don't have to resort to walking around trying to find a cute dog. I hope some of you take this as what it’s most likely is, a compliment that you have a cute dog.
