Cocker Spaniel kidnapped
A series of mysterious dog thefts is currently holding Britain in suspense. Conspicuous: Ever since Duchess Kate (31) and Prince William (30) bought the Cocker Spaniel Lupo, more and more dogs of this breed disappear throughout the kingdom.
Now, according to the Mirror, police have arrested two suspects who are said to be part of an organized gang. They are said to have specialized in stealing Cocker Spaniel and partly to extort a ransom. Such a pedigree dog is not necessarily cheap, but since Lupo is very trendy.
Many couples like Duchess Kate and Prince William would like to have a sweet cocker spaniel at home. The problem: The demand seems to be higher than the number of dogs without owners.
Catherine Jenkins, dog owner, fell victim to the Cocker Spaniel mafia. Her dog's badge was stolen and promptly came a hijacker call: she was supposed to pay nearly $ 600 as a ransom to get her darling back.
However, Catherine's husband then spotted the dog with two women and handed the car license plate to the police. The police then stormed the house of the suspects, but could find no evidence of buttons. To the great relief of the owners one found buttons later, as the straight to other should be sold.
The Hundeklau has system. The Sun said Jane Hayes, owner of a Missing Dogs website, who would lose 75 Cocker Spaniels each week - that's 50 percent of the total reported cases.
Lyn Randall of the "Cocker Spaniel Club" clearly sees a connection: "I believe that Kate and William have a Cocker Spaniel, makes a difference." Many people would also want to have such a dog as a pet. "Maybe for the wrong reasons ..."
The police therefore advises dog owners to have their dog implanted a microchip. So you can at least find it easier.
Duchess Kate and Prince William as a role model for doggie? If the British are so keen to be like Kate and William, the kingdom should prepare for a baby boom ...
