Dog-Eat-Dog: Westie Mugged in New York City

The snow, it seems, has turned New York into a dog-eat-dog struggle. Donna McPherson says that someone mugged her 10-year-old Westie outside of a supermarket — stealing Lexie’s green wool coat, with leather trim and belt.

McPherson, 42, is shocked, asking “how could anyone steal a coat off someone’s back in the freezing cold?”

She seems to assume it was a person rather than another dog. Of the various breeds, I would look for a well-heeled American Rat Pinscher, Black Mouth Cur, Cretan Hound, Pariah Dog, Plott Hound, Shocker or Shockerd, and any retriever in the area.
