You should report this to the Gardai.

Did you get a look at any part of the cars reg?
Also what kind of dog have you? (Probably looking for dogs to breed. And I can guess a few places for the guards to check for them)

Id say looking for breeding or fighting then. Id be careful walking that route for a while or take an alternative.
For some reason even though everywhere has just said silver car im thinking a passat and Ive no idea why.

Actually it did look like a passat when I think about it , can't believe people need to be careful walking a dog now

Whats the law/consequences for stealing a dog theses days?
Id say if someone ever stole my dog id be like Denzil Washington in Man on Fire.

Depends on who stole it im guessing.
We've had minorities repeatedly ask to buy and on a few occasions blatently threaten to rob our dog before

Might have to start bringing a stick or something with me now. Anyone have any ideas on what to get. Have golf clubs located around the house but dont think they would be suitable

Didn't we have a thread on here not to long ago about someone walking a dog and the owner heard one of two lads say "will we rob his dog?"

Is this really a common thing? Can you get animals chipped to see were they are or anything? I'm not a dog owner so id have no idea what kind of money dogs can go for.

Yep. A women on here heard 2 guys say it out by viewmount IIRC
You can get dogs chipped to identify them but none with gps receivers that I know of

snuggles09

yeah i replied on that thread, i'm in Johns Park area and was walking our Springer Spaniel but he was only about 6 months old at the time and there were 2 guys i walked straight passed commenting ( but in a snidey sinister tone ) about what a nice dog he was..was really unsettling..and my fella would have been no godd defending himself if he was taken, he's lick you to death before he'd bite or snap

This country is going down the toilet. You can't even walk your dog anymore. Part of it is down to our judges. They live in another world. All criminals are treated better than the victims. Long sentences with hard labour is whats needed. A friend saw young criminals in Florida working on the road in a chain gang. Thats the kind of stuff we need here not this oh they came from a broken family so he or she gets about 40 chances in court. Its time to change things around here.

****in scumbags. I think I'd fight to the death if someone tried to take my dog. I don't have kids so he is all we have. I really hope the Guards find this man's dog. He must be distraught about it all.

I'm all for that, but i reckon in this current climate people would be completely against more recruitment in the public service (who are apparently all on salaries of over 100k, my balance must be in the post!).

I would recommend for everyone that has to dog to get it chipped, i don't know if there are GPS chips, but having it chipped would make getting the dog back easier by the authorities, as saying "Tha's my dog, definitely!" without physical proof wouldn't get you very far. Also, get it chipped somewhere discreet, as horses have been known to be found with ears cut off...

letsbet

The chip usually goes in the scruff of the neck or somewhere near there but it's only of any use if you can locate the dog and that wouldn't be too easy. It really is incredible that you'd have to worry about walking your dog. Some people should be treated like animals and put down for the good of society.

An alternative to chipping is to have your PPS no tattoo'd on one of the dogs legs. Its reasonably common in the States I'm led to believe.

The different animal welfare charities have noted a rise in dog thefts from back gardens etc. Best deterrent is to have the dog neutered as it is worthless for breeding. All of our dogs carry tags that say "chipped and neutered" which might put off a potential thief.

Yeah we've got a standard poodle so she stands out a bit and my wife has had a few occasions where she's been in the park and "certain minorities" of a younger age have asked "how much" etc. I fcuking hate "certain minorities".

To think that you can't walk your dog in peace anymore. Unbelievable!

That is, without doubt, the best idea i've ever heard for animal ownership! I'm sure animal rights groups may have an issue though.

sarah88

You might get a walking stick in the army shop?

longshanks

Aldi have walking sticks at the moment.

jayboi

Why try and get a walking stick like this fella has http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c7aOZZVUfXY
It'll sure put the run on anyone trying to take your dog.

membersonly

Bring a gun and waste anyone who looks at you or your dog.

Saw a man walking a husky-type dog on Carrickphierish road around 10.30 last night with a hurley in one hand. Was it anyone from here?!

Ah Jaysus lads, unless you have the hurley somewhat way concealed, you're not gonna be given a chance to use it!
