Howdy, animal fam. We've learned a few things during our time as writers for Animal Comedy. Firstly, people are crazy. You would be surprised how insane people on the internet can be. People try to rob houses and then get stopped by a loving labrador, they dump puppies and kittens on the side of the road, and all sorts of other wackadoodle things. But today is a first, today we're sharing a story with you about an amateur dog breeder who literally tried to steal someone's husky on a hiking trail.

We get that this gorgeous doggo would get a lot of attention on the hiking trails - she's a pawsitively pawdorable pup. But, as common courtesy dictates, when someone says no to an interaction, it means no, and you should leave them alone after. Well, this amateur dog breeder wouldn't take no for an answer. He followed the pawrent and pupper the whole way, and when the pawrent left to use the restroom, he attempted to steal the doggo from them! Scroll down to read the full doggo disaster of a story below.

    I went hiking today with my husky, very dog friendly active trail. A lot of people stopped by to say hi to my girl and I met some wonderful dogs as well.

    I ended up running into this guy who looked to have a husky mix (looked to be a shepherd/husky?) and he was very interested in breeding my

  • We kind of get it why the dog breeder wanted to mix the two canines - this husky is outrageously beautiful. It looks like it's part fox, even. But still, no means no, and this is something they should have learned in the first grade (apparently, they didn't).

    On the way back he stayed close to us since he was headed in the same direction. Near the end of the trail there is a bathroom area where I handed the leash to my younger (teen) brother so I could use it real

    5thCross 6h ago Oh my god, the way I would make someone disappear for trying to steal my family member, 2 legs or 4 legs regardless... so glad you guys are safe and please make sure to charge this guy with the full extent of the law so that he is deterred from doing this again

    BugzMiranda • 5h ago I have a deaf dog. He's striking white with blue eyes. A gorgeous specimen. Some weirdo at a park in Georgia tried to loudly make a scene in efforts to take him from me. At first he was "Joking around" saying things like "yo

  • We don't know what we would do in that situation. We would like to think that our doggo would stay by our side, but we know that all it would take would be a piece of cheese for our pup to turn the tables on us.

    of it, idiots thinking it's an easy cash grab or that there's a "demand" when there's obviously not if there's so many young adult dogs being put down.

    I about 3 months ago had a guy that followed me for about a hundred feet demanding that I sell him one of my huskies. He wanted it for his kid who he hasn't seen in years. I told him that the local shelter was full of

    dogs, but he wouldn't relent. I got a feeling that this was a guy that had been locked up for a while and got him to take off when I said that his parole officer wasn't going to appreciate him harassing people for their dogs. A lot of people see dogs as an accessory and not a family member.
