Replace dog with Haribo and you might understand how these people feel about their pets

Just read this thread from the beginning. It started so well…
I think it’s the same as if someone takes your phone or whatever, you’ve got to do whatever seems safe.
I was mugged years ago, by guys who said they had a knife. I remember going into a state of shock and couldn’t speak or resist so they just took everything from me (except my phone which was in a pocket inside my jacket, it had a weirdly placed zip right in the seam so they couldn’t figure out how to quickly get it out and I couldn’t say anything to help them!) - as soon as they left I was able to call the police though and they were caught super quickly fortunately.
I imagine if someone tried to take my dog I probably would argue, she literally is family now. On the odd occasion someones been rude about the dog (some people rant away if the dog steps infront of them, or they see it popping outdoors even if you go and pick it up immediately) it takes a lot of restraint to stop me yelling back at them, so I do feel if someone tried to take her I’d attempt to fight them off.
Make sure you have their chip up to date, and if they ever go missing register with your local authority dog warden, any shelters, and on the dog lost website which a lot of organisations use as a database for dogs. Have good, clear, up to date photos which show any patterns or markings. I’m fortunate - mines a staffy/frenchie cross with ridiculously huge ears which are very unique and make her stand out. Hopefully that would mean no one would want to take her, it’s all the cavapoos and similar you see around which look identical and go for a fortune which must be so hard to track down.

I think, to answer the question posed in the thread title, that after reading this thread there are two solutions:
- You don’t
- You become fucking Robocop or something
Hey!
You can’t leave that stuff lying around here! At least bag it an tie it to a tree or something!

You could teach your dog to play dead?
