I bet if you’ve ever been to Brooklyn’s Park Slope, you were met with tree-lined streets and happy families wheeling their 2.5 kids around in strollers. You’d probably think it’s a pretty safe neighborhood, wouldn’t you? Well you’d be wrong!

From WPIX.com, a story about a woman whose 10-year-old Westie was straight up mugged for his coat while he was tied to a pole outside of a grocery store. The owner, Donna McPherson, went into the store to buy some milk and came out to a naked, cold, sad-lookin’ pooch.

In the video, McPherson exclaims, “It’s ludicrous!” and, well, that’s about all I can come up with too. What’s that scenario look like? Person walks down the street, sees poor little Lexie the Westie sporting a stylish green coat, thinks, “My little Bruno would look SMASHING in that!” and — this is Park Slope we’re talking about, y’all, Brooklyn’s most family-friendly… ghetto? — jacks the coat off the Westie and books it down the street. Lu. Di. Crous.

The article mentions that police have no leads to the puppy robber. Really, NYPD?! I don’t care how many home invasions or bank robberies or murders or whatever you’ve got to look out for, there is a puppy short one cute green coat out there. Some things just make you want to cry.

In other news, a 19-year-old from California fended off a mountain lion with his pit bull/German shepherd mix and… a ninja sword.

Don’t leave home without it… Especially if you turn your back on your pooch in Park Slope.**
