There has been a few stories of dogs being taken whilst the owners are taking them for a walk. A lady near where I live was out with her dogs when a man tried to put a leash around one, she slapped him then he punched her in the face, thankfully he didn't take the dog. There s a post about people carrying either a whistle and spray dye that doesn't come off for around 7 days.
On the Facebook post they are talking about a non profit organisation that advises dog walkers to wear a yellow lanyard that has a whistle attached, making a lot of noise will attract attention if you are being attacked. There is more information here:

I am considering buying a lanyard, whistle and spray dye for my daughter and hubby to wear, its best to be prepared. The idea of someone pinching my pups gets my anxiety levels high. Hubby has said if anyone tries whilst he is out with them he will put them in hospital.
The lockdown has seen a rise in dogs being snatched, people are scared to take there dogs out. The dog snatchers are becoming more violent. Lady Gaga's dog walker was shot for 2 of her french bulldogs, the dog walker nearly died, she offered a large amount of money to get her pups back, thankfully they were bought back to her, She got her dogs back due to the massive amount she offered with no questions asked.
I am thinking about buying the alarms and maybe the spray dye, the alarms and whistle will help attract attention whilst the spray will stay on the dog snatcher for around 7 days, this may help deter them from trying.
Any form of burglary winds me up, how dare they take what's not there's, have they no heart, don't they think about the person they are stealing from. They have no heart, the people they are stealing from could be struggling, they don't care.
When I was around 10ish I got dared to take a bar of chocolate from the local newsagents, nothing compared to these dog snatchers, I put a walnut whip in my pocket when the owner went into the back, I came out of the shop feeling guilty and disgusted with myself I placed the Walnut Whip on the ledge outside the shop so the owner would see it. I couldn't sleep for days thinking the police were coming. If my father had found out he would have beaten me to a pulp. I have never stole again, I hand back if a cashier gives me to much change, I hand in everything I find, I never want to feel like that again.
Take care when your out and be prepared, the world is a becoming a nasty place. Stay safe
