      Whether true or not, this kind of plea may heighten the public's compassion and dampen the potential dog-napper's notion of a big-money reward for your beloved "expensive" purebred dog.
    • 2012, June Whyte, Muzzled:
      Hell, by this time, the dog-napper could have caught a plane to the north of Australia and be rounding up kangaroos to slaughter for fun along the Dingo-proof and may never be found.
    • 2018, James R. Black, What I Wish I Had Learned in Seminary:
      I still feel that the dog-napper should have to pay me for my loss or serve some time for his actions.
