According to the AKC, pet theft is on the rise<\/a>:<\/p>\n

\n

“More than 637 dogs across the country were stolen in 2014 – a 4.5 percent increase from the year before, according to AKC’s national pet theft database.<\/em><\/p>\n

The number has drastically increased since the organization began recording the thefts in 2008, when 71 dogs were stolen.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Stealing somebody’s pet is like breaking up a family. Of particular interest is the practice of “dog flipping” (stealing somebody’s dog then reselling the dog for a profit), an uncommon but growing crime that is a devastating experience for dogs and their owners. Kudos to\u00a0Tom Sharp and the AKC for raising awareness of this issue.<\/p>\n
