It's not uncommon to hear about dognapping, over the years it has become a lucrative business for criminals.
Dogs are an expensive commodity; the more rare the breed, the more money these thieves can get. Dognapping refers to the crime of taking dogs from their owners.
One woman, Ali Zacharias, has gone viral for trying by all means to stop dognappers from taking her pet Bulldog, Onyx.
