Dogs being nicked from outside Sainsbury East Dulwich


Recommended Posts

Just met a couple who both work at Sainsburys East Dulwich. Dog Kennel Hill. As well as a recent post she told me a poodle was stolen the same day, and a Weimaraner was stolen a week or so ago. Clearly an easy target. Let's not always blame the owners? Let's blame the people that steal shall we? Also be aware when we go there.

It is not a Question of blaming the victim... Leaving your pet tied up outside a shop cruel.

Dogs get very distressed when left like that and doing so shows a total disreguard of your pet's welfare.


The Dog may appear abandoned.. A child might try and stroke the distressed dog and get bitten.

This practise needs to be made illegal and the owner fined..

Am not blaming any victims, that person that left the dog like that in 2017 is no victim... is a fool person. Its like saying oh why are you blaming a man that his house got robbed while he left his front door wide open... There is no victim here, just a fool person.

Some dogs may become distressed, but not all. And the ones that do are equally likely to be distressed if you leave them home alone. Whereas bringing the hound with you to the shops is healthy for both owner and Fido. Sorry DF but you're over-generalising, and many dogs will contentedly wait for their owner when told to do so.

Dogs biting people IS illegal. The owner can be fined, among other consequences. If the dog might bite, the owner is responsible for keeping it under control and if necessary muzzling it. It's equally perfectly fine for the owner of a sedate, tame Labrador or somesuch to judge that the dog will behave itself if left leashed outside the shops. No need to go all Big Brother and make up unnecessary rules to deal with the 1% of idiots who are liable to let their packs of attack dogs roam rampant.

Dogs outside Gail's in the Village, tied up to shiver and yelp and yap whilst "mummy" is warm and cosy inside, are a perennial pain. I don't think dogs should be left tied up anywhere where the owner can't keep an eye on it: just organise your life to not have to take your pet with you everywhere.

I hope dogs and owners are reconciled because losing a pet is not nice at all.

For those of you blaming dog owners, would you be supportive of dogs coming into food shops & cafes? It's better to take a dog out and keep it exercised, and occasionally that means a dog will have to wait where society doesn't allow dogs indoors. It's not cruel to leave a dog outside for a few minutes while you do your shopping (weather permitting).

No. No need to take the dog anywhere other than for exercise which means no shops or cafes or tying it up. Take responsibility for your dog and kids. Simple. Organise your life and stop imposing on others.

seriously. how many of you are dog owners/lovers on this thread.


think about this...


I take my dog for a walk in the park. On the way back, I realise I need some milk. I tie the dog up outside the shop as I HAVE NO OPTION TO TAKE THE DOG IN. The dog gets stolen. Then it would be MY fault for leaving my dog outside for 5mins?


I would love to take my dog in but so many shops are hostile. I tried to take her into the Post Office and was told to leave her outside (btw there is nowhere to tie your dog up outside unless you want them to get run over by a bus) so I had to leave. So instead of taking my dog out on fun jaunts these days, she has to sit at home bored as hell. Something's not right.


More dog love please.

Dogs in food shops/ restaurants? No thank you.

There's nothing wrong with leaving dogs outside, briefly. Although you would think people would realise the stress a busy street would cause a dog.


It is shocking though that people will just untether your dog and walk off with it.

Just as it is people grabbing your phone, robbing your houses, slashing your tyres....


There's a very serious pattern of bad behaviour in ED so it would just be wise to not provide an opportunity.


It's very very stupid to do so, knowing the pattern of behaviour locally.

Nobody "needs" to go to a cafe at all. It's really no different to someone sitting in a cafe reading a book, listening to music, or chatting with friends. To suggest that a dog owner should only take their dog out the house to exercise it is complete nonsense. I have a dog because I enjoy spending my leisure time with her and so I do take her most places I go. She doesn't cause any ill effect on anyone.

I've never really understood the rationale for keeping (well behaved) dogs out of caf?s - my family have always had dogs wandering in and out of the kitchen and nobody's ever suffered any ill effects from them, and in pubs it's usually delightful to see how most people love having a dog around and make a fuss of it. I don't think it's victim blaming though to say I'd never leave a dog tied up outside a shop round here, any more than I'd leave an unattended small child, there are just too many odd characters about who might set it loose, walk away with it etc.

    • Plenty for sale online from various ticket vendors but you'll need to part with £250 and upwards by the looks of it. Out of interest i kept an eye on the prices for the England and Italy Euro final. At one point they were on offer for a couple of grand each. On the day sellers were obviously getting itchy feet and prices dropped somewhat but never went any lower than £400. That was a few hours before kick off. There was plenty still available half an hour before kick off.   Having been to Wembley a couple of times for play off finals i found it to be not a great place to watch football. Sat three rows back from the pitch side advertising hoardings for one game and way way up in the gods for the other. We felt to far away from the pitch on both occasions. Up in the goods was just stupid because we felt cut off as well.  I don't think it was rebuilt with acoustics in mind either. Even with most of our 25k fans singing it never sounded loud because it's pretty much uncovered and too open.   Happy hunting!
    • It doesn't work as a commercial venture.  Bit churlish to say I told you so.  I told you so.  I'll send less greetings cards.  What pees me off is international postage where you can no longer send light letters at 10 grammes, normal ones up to 20g, now all at the much more expensive 100 g  Didn't we vote to take back control and price everything according to irrational units like ounces? That's some obscure humour btw   
    • Available from Monday April 8th 2024, 2on2Walkies take pride in doggie care and only walk 2 furry friends at a time. I make sure that they get plenty of doggie interaction and socialisation in the park as well as making friends. Back home happy and tired I always check that the water bowl has fresh water and always make sure the doggie is left comfortable before I leave. I'm fully insured and have a couple of slots available for local walks to either Peckham Rye Park or Dulwich Park.  Thank you!  
    • Why would they only send them recorded delivery? I used the signed for option yesterday.
