A man who was “walking his dog” by driving in his car while holding his german shepherd by a leash on Haymar Drive near El Camino Real got his dog snatched by someone who didn’t appreciate the man’s dog-driving techniques, according to as story in the San Deigo Union-Tribune.
At about 5:35 p.m., a man approached the dog owner and told him what he was doing was illegal. The man then grabbed the dog, put him in his pickup and told the owner to contact Oceanside police if he wanted the dog back, police said. The man then drove away with the German shepherd, valued at $1,200, police said. Officers contacted Oceanside police, who did not have the dog.
The dog napper was described as a 30-year-old white guy with brown hair driving a “newer-model” truck with a camper shell. Well, that narrows it down. Anyone with information is encouraged to call the Carlsbadistan police department.
[Update March 12, 2010: The stolen dog was found Friday evening roaming a neighborhood a few miles from the owner’s home, according to the North County Times.]
