Just saw this on the itv news. https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.bbc.com/news/amp/entertainment-arts-56196226

Apparently the fella was shot while trying to protect the dogs. Someone would have to shoot me too to remove a dog from my possession. Brave fella, hope he recovers quickly.

she got her dogs back but this is a terrible president and now all celeb dogs will be targeted. I personally think people should never show their dogs on social media or tik tok or facebook. Thieves are trawling these sites to find dogs and then they know their names, their walking routes etc. all pet pics should be banned off all social media.

Ah now that's going a bit far. Yes there is a lot of pics of them that maybe should not be up there but I would not go as far as saying all pics should be banned. Just as long as the pic does not give anything substantial away like the walking route or the dogs name then it should be fine. A clever person would use a nickname for there dog on social media anyway it's not like the dog is going to be reading it.

The same here and more so if I was been paid to mind someone else's dogs.

Celebrities are the reason a lot of the sugars ( followers) get dogs they really dont want cos they want to be like their hero. Their photos fuel a lot of misery for dogs - celebs keep some of your happiness private show you handbags minus the dogs !!

Quick!
Close the post your pet pics thread.
It's only asking for trouble, really!

(my favourite thread in this forum)

According to this article on BBC News its not known whether the attack was because they were known to be Lady Gaga's dogs, or just because they were french bulldogs.

Apparently, its not the first such incident involving french bulldogs. Have to say if the article is accurate, I didn't know they were so popular or so hard to breed. Puppies costing between $2k and $10k as artificial insemination is required and delivery is usually by c-section?!?

A report of a violent theft of a french bulldog in Cork.

Very happy the owner and his dog has been reunited, but this stuff is scary.
