Woman tried to steal my dog in Englewood Meijer parking lot!
Just a heads up for people to know awful ppl like this exist and to be careful with your pets. Saturday afternoon, my daughter and I ran inside a restaurant next to the Englewood Meijer to grab some food. My wife was waiting in the car with our little guy you see above. He likes to put his paws up on the open window, stick his head out and check out the scene. A woman, black 30s wearing a bonnet, came up to my wife and made a comment "aww cute dog!" something to that effect. We get this a lot and people want to pet him and he wants to be loved on by new people, so my wife is open to the comment and this garbage woman, acts like she's going to pet him and tries to snatch our dog! We always have his harness on in the car and he had a leash attached as well, wrapped around part of the door. My wife was also gripping him inside his harness like we normally do when he wants to look out the window, so thank God he was secure. As soon as the woman felt resistance she gave up and ran to the other side of the building. It all happened so fast, my wife didn't get a good look at her and she couldn't really chase her. This was broad day light, people and cars all around!
Needless to say, my wife was shaken up and we are all enraged. He's a member of our family and the idea of him being stolen and ripped away from HIS family is truly heart wrenching.
BE CAREFUL and VIGILIANT! Sadly there are shitty , awful people in this world, this city, that don't think twice about the pain they inflict on other people.
