Broughty Ferry dog owner’s pet snatch fear

Dundonian dog lovers have expressed their fear after a middle-aged man allegedly tried to snatch a dog from a garden in Broughty Ferry on Monday evening.

A post on the popular Missing Pets Dundee Facebook page claimed a man in a white Range Rover entered a residential garden and lay a “white marking” before fleeing when challenged by the concerned homeowner.

The warning was shared hundreds of times within a matter of minutes.

The worrying post said: “Hope it’s OK to post this, but just had a white Range Rover type car pull up outside my house, a man who appears to be in his 50s tried to get in my side gate which I locked shut earlier.

“He then bent down like he was picking something up but I went out after him to find a white marking in my driveway.

“He was so quick in getting away I couldn’t confront him. High possibility this is dog thieves.”

Though details of the incident remain sketchy, the post has made uncomfortable reading for dog owners following the theft of eight-month old Border Terrier pup, Rosco, who was stolen from 82-year-old Leonard Ormond’s garden earlier this month.

The Courier revealed last week that volunteers believe they have made a breakthough in tracking Rosco’s alleged abductor down.

Campaigners posted an online warning to the man they believe responsible for the incident and now hope he will hand Rosco back.
