Dog Mugged in NYC

Okay, I know I said that I really want to go and visit New York City, but when something like this comes along, it makes even me question the fate of humanity.

There are thousands of muggings in New York City every year that range from purses being stolen, to 101-year-old ladies getting beat down. In other words; people muggings. Human vs. human. You know what I mean. It’s just a fact that when you live in one of the biggest, craziest cities in the world, you’re going to have some trouble every once in a while. I can accept that.

For Donna McPherson, though, trouble came her way when a mugger stole the coat off of her…dog? WTF NYC? She went into the store for “two minutes” to buy some milk, so she tied up her 10-year-old Westie, Lexie, and when she came back, little Lexie was freezing his pooch off after his green wool coat with leather trim and belt had vanished.

Again, what the hell is wrong with this world? I can see being mugged for your dog, but a dog being mugged for a coat? That’s low, man.

Regardless, I still hope to visit the Big Apple one day. Luckily I’m a cat person, so I don’t expect to run into this problem. They want my wallet? Fine. They can have my eight bucks, but don’t mess with my feline, cause I’ll get medieval on your ass.

It should be noted that in the case of Donna McPherson and Lexie, Verne Troyer is not a suspect. Yet.
