Utter c*nts. Not far from where I'm living at the moment. I walk my mums dog. I'd like to think the German Shepherd would put any would be thieves off or if they did try anything maybe she (the dog not my mum) would sort them out.
3 of them, one with a knife out to steal a dog at midnight is ridiculous. Makes you think though, how much of a fight would you put up if it happened to you? Dogs are part of the family but if some little sh*t pulls a knife out then there's not much you could really do.
