Recently, The Kennel Club (England) (TKC) asked for Scottish dog owners to respond to a consultation launched by Maurice Golden, a member of the Scottish Parliament for Northeast Scotland, to support the introduction of a specific criminal offense for dog theft. A consultation is an opportunity for the public to comment on an idea prior to it being filed as a bill in Parliament. The proposed Dog "Abduction" (Scotland) Bill would create a new statutory offense for dog theft and other situations where a dog is taken or kept without lawful authority.
