American Kennel Club Says Dognapping Cases Are Up By Almost 70 Percent

[dkf]

NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) — Dogs are being stolen out of cars, yards, off sidewalks and even out of shelters at an alarming rate, according to the American Kennel Club.

“It only takes a minute for a theft to occur,” American Kennel Club spokeswoman Lisa Peterson told CBS 2?s Dave Carlin on Friday.

Making any pet owner think twice is surveillance video from last week that showed “Marley” the Cavalier King Charles Spaniel being menaced by a stranger, who picked up the frightened dog and walked off with him, leaving 7-year-old Mia Bendrat heartbroken the day before Christmas.

7. That was the kind of nonsense that lost the election for those idiots.

They tried to claim that Obama being fed dog meat as a child in a country where dog meat was common was worse than an educated man putting his luggage in the car and strapping a dog to the roof.

Normal people know this is bullshit.
