Dogs And Carjacking

Several times a year I will read a news story about a carjacking in which the criminal takes the car with the dog inside. Sometimes the dog is found as a stray; sometimes the dog is returned by the police; sometimes the dog is never seen again or is found dead; and rarely, the dog is returned by the criminal. 

Do you think about these things when driving with your dog? Do you maintain a watchful eye, especially in parts of town where these types of crimes are more likely to occur? Could you get your dog out of the car quickly? Could you track your stolen car with a GPS device? Could you track your dog with a GPS dog collar? Is your dog microchipped? Could your dog defend you? Could you defend your dog? Have you practiced a carjacking drill to prepare for this type of event? 

Plan accordingly
