Someone stole your rottweiler? You’re not alone. Pedigreed dogs are disappearing with alarming regularity.
What is behind this spate if dog a disappearance? The obvious reason is that they’re expensive and can fetch a good price. A pedigreed Labrador pup, for example, will sell for as much as Rs 18,000,while a pug-the breed made famous by the hutch ad-will sell for up to Rs 25,000.A stolen pup will sell for about half as much, a neat sum.
“Anybody who steals a dog isn’t very worried about scruples,” says Dasgupta,a dog lover.They’re not worried what a dog that’s been taken from a loving family will turn into a traumatised, confused and very angry creature. The dogs are kept poorly, made to breed around the year and when they cant any longer,theyre abandoned.
Most at risk
According to experts, they are ‘so idiotically friendly they’ll probably just walk off with just about anybody.
