That's a pretty gutsy theft. All the K9's of police officers I know would take your arm off if you reached in their car.
Police officers don't use Pekingese for their dogs. There is a reason for that.
She should have left the dog HOME and not in a hot car. I'm not saying it was right to steal the dog but its wrong to leave a dog in a car during the summertime no matter if the windows are open or not.
Some of those women with tiny dogs carry them EVERYWHERE-but this weather is too much for them.
And why do people still steal dogs when there are so many waiting for good homes that are almost free???
