Only in NYC: The Terrible Terrier Mugger

Reuters.com- A Brooklyn woman said a mugger stole a doggie coat right off the back of her mild-mannered terrier. Donna McPherson said she tied up Lexie, her 10-year-old Westie, outside a Park Slope supermarket "for two minutes" while she bought milk. She heard a "funny bark." When McPherson went outside, she found the little white dog shivering. His green wool coat, with leather trim and belt, was nowhere in sight.

McPherson said the dog coat was worth $25. She said that, fortunately, Lexie wasn't wearing his pricier Burberry.

The great thing about this story is that it combines two things that are very wrong in this world: 1. dressing up dogs and 2. stealing doggy fashion. I just don't get it. DOGS HAVE FUR FOR A REASON PEOPLE. They don't need a Gucci vest to stay warm in the winter. And they definitely don't need a fucking costume for every little holiday you can think of. They look worse than Ralphie did in the Christmas Story when his aunt got him the pink bunny suit. No one should be forced to look like that. Yes, even dogs too. If we're going to persecute Michael Vick for fighting dogs, then persecute the Daddy's Girls who torture their Shitzu's or Labradoodles. Because in my eyes, I see no difference from the two.

And as for the guy who stole the dog jacket? Get a fucking life. Seriously, bro, stealing a dog's jacket? That has to be a low-point in that guy's life. But perhaps I'm being a tad bit sexist by assuming that it was a guy who stole the jacket? We all know what happens when we assume things. My guess? It had to have been a girl who jacked this jacket. What sane man would steal a jacket from a little shit-terrier? We all know girls and gay men are the only people who dress up their dogs. Only in NYC will you see someone rob a terrier. For all the faults of the city, you have got to respect that.

For the record, I don't even own an article of Burberry clothing. And the fact, that this little terrier-runt has a jacket is just straight up asinine. I wish the person who stole the jacket was Asain, so that they could steal the dog, ship 'em over to China, and make some puppy meat lo mein. YUM :)
