You should report this to the Gardai.

Did you get a look at any part of the cars reg?
Also what kind of dog have you? (Probably looking for dogs to breed. And I can guess a few places for the guards to check for them)

Actually it did look like a passat when I think about it , can't believe people need to be careful walking a dog now

Whats the law/consequences for stealing a dog theses days?
Id say if someone ever stole my dog id be like Denzil Washington in Man on Fire.

Depends on who stole it im guessing.
We've had minorities repeatedly ask to buy and on a few occasions blatently threaten to rob our dog before

wobbles

Might have to start bringing a stick or something with me now. Anyone have any ideas on what to get. Have golf clubs located around the house but dont think they would be suitable

ziedth

Didn't we have a thread on here not to long ago about someone walking a dog and the owner heard one of two lads say "will we rob his dog?"

Is this really a common thing? Can you get animals chipped to see were they are or anything? I'm not a dog owner so id have no idea what kind of money dogs can go for.

Yep. A women on here heard 2 guys say it out by viewmount IIRC
You can get dogs chipped to identify them but none with gps receivers that I know of

snuggles09

yeah i replied on that thread, i'm in Johns Park area and was walking our Springer Spaniel but he was only about 6 months old at the time and there were 2 guys i walked straight passed commenting ( but in a snidey sinister tone ) about what a nice dog he was..was really unsettling..and my fella would have been no godd defending himself if he was taken, he's lick you to death before he'd bite or snap

This country is going down the toilet. You can't even walk your dog anymore. Part of it is down to our judges. They live in another world. All criminals are treated better than the victims. Long sentences with hard labour is whats needed. A friend saw young criminals in Florida working on the road in a chain gang. Thats the kind of stuff we need here not this oh they came from a broken family so he or she gets about 40 chances in court. Its time to change things around here.

MikeyReilly

****in scumbags. I think I'd fight to the death if someone tried to take my dog. I don't have kids so he is all we have. I really hope the Guards find this man's dog. He must be distraught about it all.

I'm all for that, but i reckon in this current climate people would be completely against more recruitment in the public service (who are apparently all on salaries of over 100k, my balance must be in the post!).

I would recommend for everyone that has to dog to get it chipped, i don't know if there are GPS chips, but having it chipped would make getting the dog back easier by the authorities, as saying "Tha's my dog, definitely!" without physical proof wouldn't get you very far. Also, get it chipped somewhere discreet, as horses have been known to be found with ears cut off...

letsbet

The chip usually goes in the scruff of the neck or somewhere near there but it's only of any use if you can locate the dog and that wouldn't be too easy. It really is incredible that you'd have to worry about walking your dog. Some people should be treated like animals and put down for the good of society.

An alternative to chipping is to have your PPS no tattoo'd on one of the dogs legs. Its reasonably common in the States I'm led to believe.

The different animal welfare charities have noted a rise in dog thefts from back gardens etc. Best deterrent is to have the dog neutered as it is worthless for breeding. All of our dogs carry tags that say "chipped and neutered" which might put off a potential thief.

Yeah we've got a standard poodle so she stands out a bit and my wife has had a few occasions where she's been in the park and "certain minorities" of a younger age have asked "how much" etc. I fcuking hate "certain minorities".

To think that you can't walk your dog in peace anymore. Unbelievable!

That is, without doubt, the best idea i've ever heard for animal ownership! I'm sure animal rights groups may have an issue though.

Walking stick?

Ye a good walking stick where can I get one?? Ye these minorities really are becoming a pain hopefully one of them trys to take the wrong dog next and gets attacked severely .( dog would probably get put down then too ) knowing this country's laws

sarah88

You might get a walking stick in the army shop?

longshanks

Aldi have walking sticks at the moment.

jayboi

Why try and get a walking stick like this fella has http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c7aOZZVUfXY
It'll sure put the run on anyone trying to take your dog.

membersonly

Bring a gun and waste anyone who looks at you or your dog.

Hehe

Saw a man walking a husky-type dog on Carrickphierish road around 10.30 last night with a hurley in one hand. Was it anyone from here?!

Ah Jaysus lads, unless you have the hurley somewhat way concealed, you're not gonna be given a chance to use it!

That was me I bring her out for late walk before she goes in crate at night , no reason why I should stop doing that cause of minorities stealing dogs I just made sure I had some sort of deterrent to any would be thiefs especially as that road is so quiet at that time, its a japanese Akita pup , looks very like husky right now all right ha

Are people alowed to carry around pepper spray? or one of those battons the guards have that kind of fold up like a toy lightsaber.

Not sure about pepper spray but the baton is a concealed weapon.
The hurley is just sports equipment so thats fine :pac:

sarah88

Is there a new law coming in to ban people's carrying around hurley's as a result of people using them to beat the crap out of other people.... or did someone just make that up (not me).

Edit: as an afterthought maybe someone did make this up, how would people get their hurley's to hurling matches and the likes?

You'd be arrested unless you were able to produce a pair of ultra tight-fitting O' Neills GAA shorts.

Heathen

That sounds about right... Bring in a law to outlaw people carrying a protective shtick with them when out walking their dogs, but do nothing about the scumbags robbing the dogs and going around treating this country like their own personal playground that has no repercussions when they break the law...

as usual the law is set up to protect the criminals...

longshanks

You could say the hurley is to keep other dogs away from your dog. Sounds legit. Maybe.

You could bring a ball as well and say you are on your way to/from the park. I see lots of people in my local park with a hurley and ball playing with the dog.

S28382

Or you could just tell them that you have the hurley with ya to beat the **** out of anyone that trys to nick your dog,

zenno

Just carry a big dinner fork as there is no law against having one on your person. A nice poke of that in the eye will sort any scumbag out. If anyone asks why you have a fork on you just say that you were in the restaurant and always bring your own fork with you :pac:

Ye and tbh I originally wanted a stick for that reason but the latest episodes give me other reasons for stick

Akita pups are lovely. They wont go near her when she is fully grown.


I heard about this robbery on noe of my friends facebook pages. It's disgusting that a poor fella cant bring his dog for a walk without some scumbag robbing his dog on him.
Im thinking of getting a knuckle duster. If the guards ask me why Im carrying it Ill just explain I get really crusty snots and need something to pick at them before my nasal passage is clogged up and I die of snot asphyxiation .

Just say you're on the way to the park/a field to hit a ball with the dog. And if travscum (just a made up name, not pointing at any group in particular) come near you don't hesitate to aim for the head.

Do you have any idea what kind of life the dog's going to have once it's taken by these animals? Something tells me a GPS isn't going to help find the dog, unless it's dumped in a ditch somewhere after.

Pepper Spray is considered a firearm, and will carry a minimum term of 5 years if caught, regardless of the reason.

An extendable baton is an offensive weapon, and can also carry a 5 year jail term. It will definitely get you in serious trouble, as there is absolutely no legal reason for having one on you if you're not an on-duty Garda.

As for the hurley, have a tennis ball with you and as derekeire said, say you're going for a puck around with the dag.

Don't know about it being a firearm but I know for a fact it's illegal for us Joe soaps to carry it around. Don't know what kind of sentance it carries. Just say you like your curry's hot and bring the spray with you for impromtu Curry sessions

Zod all mighty, It is not illegal to carry an extendible baton and a prison sentence for carrying one LOL please man I already have stitches from laughing. My father always has one with him walking the dog

This thread really has me on edge while walking my dog, if anyone looks at my dog funny during a walk I'm gonna beat the **** out of them.
