The number of pet dogs reported stolen in London has increased by more than 75% in the past four years.
Figures from the Met Police reveal that criminals are increasingly targeting the prized canines which can be worth well in excess of £10,000. Staffordshire Bull Terriers have been the most stolen dog since January 2010, followed by Chihuahuas and Jack Russell’s.
But whilst there has been a huge surge in the cultural conversation around stealing dogs for their resale value, there has been very little reported on the thousands of dogs who need to be rehoused.
As a self initiated project for Other, we urged the public to steal these dogs from dog homes all over the capital. To take them home and shower them in the love and care that they deserve.
