Distraught dog owner's despair over pooch's stolen coat

Any discerning dog owner will want their prize pooch looking hot to trot with an outfit that perfectly coordinates their own.

However, one dog owner in New York was outraged to discover that her four-legged friend's outfit had been rudely stripped off her dog's back, leaving the poor white terrier in the nude.

The crime came about after the complacent owner tied up her westie outside a supermarket while she bought her weekly groceries. However when she returned to her dog, she discovered that its green wool coat, with leather trim and belt, had vanished.

Speaking of the travesty, the distraught dog owner said that the dog's coat was worth $25 (around £16) but was grateful that he wasn't wearing his Burberry coat at the time which is worth a lot more.
