someone stole two little puppies from two little kids walking down the street today and then someone else stole a tiny little puppy from a pet store today too

Momma_K 01-17-2011 03:52 PM

All for the money I bet! Hope they have a heart a feed and care for them if they don't return the babies!! Some people get sorrier everyday!

sewTinker 01-17-2011 03:53 PM

oh the children must be Traumatized! oh I feel so badly for them... are these purebred dogs that are being stolen?

Charlee 01-17-2011 03:54 PM

What's really sad is that dog fighters often steal and use pups and small dogs to train their dogs to kill...

They suck.

Oh my gosh! That is a HORRIBLE thought! I got sick just thinking about it! :(

Texasjunebug 01-17-2011 04:18 PM

I am so angry - can't even comment on this. All I can see is they're lucky I didn't see them do it.

DebraK 01-17-2011 04:54 PM

bad, bad, bad.

pojo 01-17-2011 05:08 PM

I hope they catch these idiots before they do it again.

Those little children are probably devastated.

moonwork42029 01-17-2011 05:15 PM

Awful!

lovingmama 01-17-2011 05:36 PM

That's so sad!

wolph33 01-17-2011 06:06 PM

My DS has a Pit Bull that he bought to rescue him from the fight pens. He is kept padlocked (the dog fighting people tried to steal him) on a log chain with a training collar, which I don't like, but his only other option is being put to sleep.
I personally feel that ALL dog fighters should have to be chained up like he is!

I believe that Hell has a special place for people like that!!

jeannie t 01-18-2011 05:34 AM

this makes me furious and sick! If someone stole my pets and I found them we would not need a court system, they are like family to me and I would protect them like I would my kids

thequiltmama 01-18-2011 05:55 AM

wow, people really are crazy...why would you steal a pet. :-(

Yep that was the first thing that popped into my head too. A lot of the shelters are cracking down on who can pull/adopt dogs. So that way is drying up for these people.
They also get dogs where people are giving them away for free in a parking lot and off craigslist. I love the ads that say fee so they go to a good home. $50-100 is nothing to these people. They make that back in one fight most times.

:thumbdown: :thumbdown: Heartless bast---s!!

rainagade 01-18-2011 08:03 AM

this is absolutely horrid! These children will never forget this.

I do not know where you are but contact the rescue group in your area and see if the children can find puppies. I am sure the kids are heartbroken.

Granny K 01-18-2011 01:24 PM

We just moved into a new house and had our Pom in the back yard. Went out to get him and he was gone. Have a fence in back yard

CarrieAnne 01-18-2011 01:36 PM

So sorry, GrannyK, thats awful!

grannie-k 01-18-2011 02:13 PM

GrannyK so sorry. I know how that feels our "old man" 18 yr old Australian cattle dog died this weekend. He was a rescue dog left there when the renters moved. I feel so bad for the kids. I have a hard time with it being an adult.

damaquilts 01-18-2011 03:12 PM

Small dogs are a big item right now. I have a lhasa mix and in GA I didn't mind leaving him out because my daughter had two big dogs everyone was afraid of. Lots of noise.
Here there is no way for anyone to get into the back yard and he only stays out long enough to potty now. I think he misses his yard mates. Even though he doesn't want anything to do with other dogs he was use to them.
Sadly its today's world.
The only other thing I can think of besides some fool stealing your Pom if it was a small one and you have hawks or owls.I had a hawk try to go for a chi I was fostering.

debbieoh 01-18-2011 03:30 PM

Yes I seen that on the news hope they find those 2 guys. seems someone would recognize them.

skothing 01-18-2011 04:15 PM

My daughter let her brown Boston terrier out in the back yard and someone came along and grabbed her. My daughter 28 years of age went crazy and went up and down streets crying and calling her dog. Several streets away she found her dog the police had to be called as the woman who took the dog refused to give her back without $50 being handled over. After the police came they found this woman was involved with a thieves ring that did this. She still had to pay the money and made a complaint at the police station.

damaquilts 01-18-2011 04:51 PM

If it were me the only thing with a 5 in it the lady would have gotten was my fist in her face. Heaven help anyone that touches my dog and I find them.
I hope she got her money back anyway

pawebdoctor 01-18-2011 04:55 PM

How terrible!
Poor kiddos!
Poor puppies!

karenchi 01-18-2011 05:02 PM

Oh my gosh....That is terrible. I just don't know what this world is coming to! Those poor children.

dixiebelle162002 01-18-2011 05:08 PM
