So the other night Husband and I were walking down to Gastown to meet some friends for drinks when we saw a poster that caught our eye.  In huge, bold letters it said “STOLEN” on top.  Then there was a picture of a Boston Terrier.  Then a description: “Stolen dog.  Last seen wearing a pink Louis Vuitton collar, in the neighbourhood of X and Y streets.  Has a tattoo on her belly that spells out ‘thug life.’  Reward: $5000.  No questions asked.”

So what kind of person is the owner of this dog?  This owner, who puts a vanity tattoo on their dog proclaiming their anti-society association with criminal lifestyles?  Who wants someone to come forward but makes it clear that he believes the dog is STOLEN?  Who puts expensive gear on a ridiculous looking dog?  Is this owner, likely a person who uses their dog as a narcissistic extension of themselves and who is clearly hostile, the sort of person who actually will ask no questions?  If they can afford such a huge reward, are they in fact an actual thug?

Husband and I cracked up over this sign.  It’s quite interesting, the things people reveal (or portray) about themselves.
