I'm not too convinced that some of these dogs are missing because they've wondered off or were mistakenly picked up as strays. I think that there are people out there grabbing these dogs on purpose, what that purpose is I can't say. If the dog looks like a pitbull, then I'd shutter to think about what they'd want the dog for. We had a recent experience with our own dog just a couple of weeks ago. My husband was working on the outside of the house, his best buddy tagging along minding his own business in the yard which faces the road when the barking starts up, at this time my husband was hidden by the shrubbery of the house, he stands up in time to see a car driving very slowly by the front yard while our dog stands there barking at them. Our dog does not have a habit of barking at cars but for whatever reason he felt threaten by this one. When they saw my husband they took off fast. All of this brought back memories of 20 years ago when living around the same area we had two dogs taken from the yard while I was inside cooking dinner, they were returned 6 weeks later malnurished and week. We believe because they were Labs, that someone thought they were trained to hunt because the time of year was bird hunting season, but they were just big babies for us. The vet said that it did look as if they'd been worked hard due to their inflamed muscle mass. Needless to say, we are extremely careful with the babies we have now.
That is SO scary. I was worried about the boxer/pit mix for the same reason but I hadn't heard many recent reports about other breeds being stolen.

Lost from whispering pines subdivision on December 31. Here's another one -a Chow Chow. :cry:
Years ago, I had an uncle that's beloved dog was stolen out of his fenced in backyard. After several weeks he was told by someone to call the dog research lab at Duke. Yep, that's where he found his dog. Apparently people can sale dogs to this lab, at least they use to.
I remember hearing stories about the "cat man" in Clayton years back. Story was there was a man who would steal cats and then sell them to research labs. Sure hope it wasn't true, we had a cat disappear around that time and I would hate to think... :cry:
