I am always careful when people start chatting with me, I either pick mine up or pull the leash tight and make them sit or lay between my feet. |
Oh my god. That's just sick. I couldn't imagine someone taking Coco from me. I don't live in a bad neighborhood or anything, I live in the country, but taking her to outdoor malls and that happening I would be devastated. I think I may start to pick her up when someone comes up to me:/ It should never come to that though. |
I use to take my babies to Petsmart with me but now I leave them at home because there are so many crazy people now that I am afraid something like this could happen. I heard a while back to be careful because people will come up to you and ask to hold your dog and then take off with them. Thanks for this info. |
DISGUSTING! Thanks for sharing! |
I know.. I was holding remy and it made me hold her tighter!! The Area he was talking about is Brickel, a urban renewal area that has a lot of condos.... Mostly high end. Very city, down town. Most areas are young professionals ... So I can just see people walking their dogs, talking and being distracted My dd said only in Miami... |
I don't think that would be a common occurence, but if anyone is truly afraid someone is going to cut a leash and take your dog, then I suggest first calling your local law enforcement and ask if there have been any dog thefts lately. Also go back to the old fashion "chain" leash. |
That doesn't surprise me. Some months ago someone here was telling about a small dog that was grabbed right out of the owner's arms & stolen. When you read all these stories, it's sure hard to not worry no matter what precautions you take. It's a sorry a$$ world sometimes. |

Right there with ya! Must be a TX thang. |
We use retractable leash so if someone were to cut the leash, we would know. This is insane, I would have never thought of this! |
Wow, thanks for the info. I just had a new two side tag engraved for Lucy. One side has my name and contact info. The other side said " Lucy is old, deaf, has no teeth, & needs meds. Please contact us." I guess I'm hoping it would make her less attractive if someone found her or to a potential thief. |

OMG. Are there any news articles w/ more details? This is so scary :(. |
I heard the same thing is happening in NYC. A women I was talking to at Central Park (who had two yorkies) told me about it. Went right out and got Teddy a chain leash! |

I have not seen anything in the news or in the paper. I live in the "burbs" and I have three dogs so I don\'t feel in danger, but it still made me think of being too trusting when I am out with just Remy. I have a hard time seeing the "bad" in people. |
That is just terrible! It\'s hard to believe people would do such a thing! :mad: |
