There have been many instances of people being assaulted while out walking their dogs usually two people will approach one engages the owner in seemingly pleasant chat while the other makes a fuss of the dog. At some point owner gets pushed/punched to the ground and the dog is taken usually to a van nearby that's your dog gone. They are also marking house's with dogs it can take the form of a sticker on a gate post a piece of cloth and they are now using spray paint on the pavement either outside your house or directly opposite. Police have issued warnings but there is little they can do these *******s are very proficient at this now. Be aware and careful when your out with your dogs pathetic in this country that something as good as dog walking is now not safe. Sadly Stephen it's real
