She didn't steal the Belgian Malinois in Escondido. She rescued It.

"The story of the act of rescue does not line up with the nature of lies and liars; hence, score a theoretical point for the person in jail. " I agree, rescues and liars do not line up. From the article: "When an Escondido police detective contacted Vukov in October, she began with denials. “She told me she didn’t know anything about a missing dog,” said detective Stephen Thompson." Since the police already confirmed Vukov is a liar, using your own logic, it should be obvious this was theft not rescue......

Wow! A felon comes up with an excuse in an attempt to avoid punishment for her crime, and the SD reader community blames the victims. This group should be ashamed of themselves. Imagine a perpetrator, attempting to tell a jury, "she was asking for it, just begging me to assault her." How is this different? Here the perp says, "the dog was asking for it, just begging me to steal it" and community responds "well if the dog was asking for it, this must be the victims' fault or the fault of the police".... Simply shameful and ridiculous! My name is Vadim. I am a dog sport competitor and have been a client of Philippe Belloni for almost 10 years. I also continue to use Philippe's boarding facilities when traveling to this day. When I started training with Philippe, I confirmed the accomplishments he claimed on his website easily as he is well known as one of the top trainers in the US and internationally. To this day, trainers and competitors from around the world visit to learn from Philippe and resolve problems with their dogs other trainers could not resolve. Over the course of these years I have visited Philippe's facility 2-3 times per week almost every week and have never seen a dog in the condition claimed by this convicted felon. I know Steve well and remember Elvis from my visits. Elvis spent the nights in a covered, spacious dog kennel with a bed. During the day, Elvis was given a chance to run on a 40 ft line. The line in question still exists today and is directly below numerous ample shade trees that have obviously been there for decades. Anyone who has actually visited the facility can confirm this is the truth, just as the writer of the article confirms. Additionally Philippe and an assistant, trained the dog on a daily basis to further Steve's goals. As a result the dog received significantly more attention than most dogs ever see anywhere. Elvis was never underweight, was not injured in anyway, and certainly did not have any blood on him. During this time period, although Steve was not able come out daily, he visited regularly and was always happy with the condition of his dog. Ask yourself, would someone who had already invested thousands in a dog and was spending thousands more for training, leave the dog at a place that was neglecting him? Of course not. This of course a lie and was confirmed by a jury. You would think this would be enough to clear a victim's name. Visit Philippe's website to read about him and his philosophies on training and breeding at http://www.frenchtrainer.com/ If you are still not convinced, then perhaps, the "victim was asking for it" defense is better than I realized..... BTW-surfpuppy, Philippe is not able to write well in english. If you actually knew him, you would know that.... I know dogman well and train with him and Philippe regularly each week. You obviosuly need some h8r-aide....
