I'm pretty sure my dog would be great at this, but then he would be worth stealing. Ergo, I'm not doing it. Aside from the fact that it would be a 10-hour drive for me.

- AlbertCory 4y agoI can't speak for other dog owners. I guess you have a problem with this? There are shitty people in the world. They'll steal the catalytic converter right off your Prius. And yes, dogs do get stolen: https://frenchbulldog.nyc/french-bulldog-theft/ https://frenchbulldog.nyc/french-bulldog-theft/
- chihuahua 4y agoI'm not sure how potential truffle dog thieves would be able to tell that a dog is good at finding truffles during the 364 days a year where the dog is not searching for truffles. Or how they would steal the dog while the owner is walking around with it in the forest during the 1 day a year where they are searching for truffles.
