People that steal other people’s pets are some of the absolute worst out there and it’s even more scummy if they start off pretending to stroke them and care for them before grabbing them up and hightailing it out of there.

This is the shocking footage that emerged today of 60 year old Caroline Busby’s recent experience with the dognapping of her French Bulldog Luna in the relatively sleepy town of Malvern. Two men were waiting for Caroline to walk past before they engaged her in conversation, as one of them bent down to unhook Luna’s collar before running off with her.
Here’s what Busby’s daughter, 34 year old Kirsty Groves had to say about the situation:

You can see on the CCTV that they are crouched down, waiting for her to come around the corner.
My mum thought maybe they were doing their shoelaces or something.
They turned her over to presumably see if she was a male or female, and they asked my mum how old the dog was. She told them she was only one.
Then they just unclipped her and ran. They had been hiding in a bush, my mum didn’t even see them.
We’ve not slept. We are both still in shock.
My mum’s dog is my mum’s best friend, she’s not just a dog. It is a family pet. They are part of your family.
She is nervous wreck. She doesn’t want to walk her dog anymore alone; she has to go with friends. She will not go on her own ever again.
She’s a defenceless 60-year-old woman, it’s so unfair. I live away and I am worried about my mum and if anything like this will happen again.
We are really angry someone has made my mum feel this way. What is wrong with people? Truly awful.
You don’t expect anything like this to happen in Malvern.
We are really lucky that we got her back. I think this is due to the sharing online about what had happened.
We are really grateful for those who took the time to help find her.
We can only think that the theft was purely down to money. French bulldogs are expensive. We even took extra precautions when I brought her the dog because of this.
I got my mum a panic alarm to take on her walks with her and she was insured as much as she could be, but this still happened.
It is a shocking turn of events, especially in a place like Malvern and it sound like it’s deep affected Caroline. Thankfully though, you probably read that the police were able to find Luna wandering around on her own eight miles away from the scene of the crime. That’s great news obviously, but it seems like Caroline is going to be deeply affected by the actions of these two scumbags and probably be scared to leave the house for the rest of her life. What the hell is wrong with people that do stuff like this? If you know who they are then please turn them into the police. Absolute lowlives.
