We are all aware of the heightened risk of having your beloved dog stolen at the moment.

Dogs are being stolen out of gardens, whilst out on a walk, being attacked for your dog and even breaking into premises to take them.

This needs to stop! 

This petition has been started to get the UK government to take this vile, heartbreaking crime seriously. 

We need harsher punishment and much longer jail terms for the perpetrators of these terrible crimes.

Even if you aren't a dog owner or an animal lover you must realise the devastating impacts these crimes have on the dogs and their owners.

Please, please sign and lets try and make a difference and keep these dogs safe in their homes and out on their walks.
