Thieves steal Rottweiler guard dog

Police are hunting a useless guard dog which was stolen during a raid on his owner’s home.

Rocky the Rottweiler was snatched from a fenced enclosure at the rear of his country estate home in Damery, near Wootton-under-Edge, Glos. The dog was stolen by thieves between 9am and 3.15pm on July 14.



A spokeswoman for Gloucestershire police confirmed nothing else was taken in the raid and said the home was not broken into.

She added: ”We are eager to hear from anyone who saw any individuals, or any vehicles, acting suspiciously in the area last week.”

People that do this kind of thing should be punished severely... Chopping off his tail, keeping him locked up in a cell at the bottom of the garden which looks barely 4 foot wide and also when it snows! Kudos to the liberators!!

Was about to say. Maybe the dog was glad that it was leaving. Cats, luckily enough, in most cases, have the freedom of choice, as far as the owner is concerned (if they are free-romaing, of course).

BTW, can't believe the captcha is "oxyless." Brilliant.

Although I wouldn't use a fenced enclosure for my dog, there is no way of knowing how big the enclosure is by this photo. Its obviously cropped.

I don't think thats snow either, it looks like he tore up a blanket of some sort.

As for the 'liberators'/thieves there is no way of knowing what they plan to do with him. Hopefully he's now on a ranch in the hills and playing all day but going by his breed he could very well end up in the same sort of situation as before. Or worse. I have heard that dogs are sometimes stolen to fight in organized dog fights.

I think I'd wait on the kudos.
