I don't understand why so many. Ok little designer dogs being stolen to sell on, but there seem to be so many ordinary, even old and fat, dogs being taken. What happens to them? Surely nobody would buy them when the they could get a dog from a reputable breeder or a rescue centre. Someone on Facebook is appealing for help finding their 15 year old crossbred who thieves actually broke into the house to take. I don't get it - not that the dog isn't worth everything to it's owners of course, but why would anyone want to steal it?
