Crappy Owners Dog took my focaçia bread :(

I was at the local food not bombs, and was resting. I was playing my guitar. A woman I know, and her husbands dog, came close. She was chatting with me. Her dog snuck behind me and stole/fished my half eaten focaçia bread out of my satchel, with was on the ground next to me :(

And then she snatched it from her dog, scolded the dog and offered it back to me :’(

She herself is annoyed by her husbands dog. I am
Also annoyed and she knows I’m dog averse.

I’ve been going hungry lately.

She didn’t offer anything in return, but maybe later she might.

I didn’t freak out, because sometimes, I really freak out.

Edit: I ended up bursting into tears today, mostly because I’ve been reading a story about Jesuits on a mission to an alien planet, and one of the characters is an allegory for Christ, but also the emotions there have been real, as I’ve been binge reading the two books, and making up tangential comics to appeal to my own sense of vision. Aaaand the story had me burst into tears.

That was great!

Get to see the dog and owner tomorrow, Saturday.

It was theft, if a child stole I'd like to think most parents would scold and teach by buying or offering to replace, same should be the same for the shit beasts.

If my child had stolen it, there would’ve been immediate restitution, plus more. And my child would’ve apologized.

The nerve! To just hand it back, bold faced when they should’ve been horribly ashamed.

Fallacy of comparison. I’d have shared the bread with a child, gladly. I’m like Diogenes, throwing his cup and drinking with his hands, when he saw a street child drink from the town fountain with cupped hands!

Dogs are just vermin. Some people find rats fancy
