"The American Kennel Club is reporting a sharp rise in dog-napping so far this year, and recommends keeping your pup on a short leash.
In the first seven months of 2011, the AKC estimates that there were 224 cases of dog theft, as opposed to 150 during the first seven months of 2010. That represents an almost 50% increase—though the total is still miniscule compared to the tens of millions of dogs living as pets in the U.S
Why would someone steal a dog? As with most dastardly acts, the motivation is expected to be money, whether the napper is reselling a pure-bred, using the dog for breeding, or even using the animal in a dog fight."
