It is one of my biggest fears which is why I will not leave my dogs at the groomers or anywhere. I live in a 24 hour guard gated community and I still lock all my doors because you never know who will steal a yorkie. When I go the dog park, I make sure I have a person for each dog I bring, because, when they are off leash and playing, it is hard to keep track of more than one. Dog thieves love dog parks.
I never thought about this but I heard recently that there is a rise in the number of dogs stolen during "hawk season". People who let their dogs go outside in their fenced yard and then have them disappear. They will think they were stolen when most likely a hawk got them. Please do not let your yorkie outside alone without a leash if you have birds of prey in your area.
I hope they get Squirt back! |
