Dog stealing
Dog stealing is punishable on summary conviction, for the first offence, by six months' imprisonment and hard labour, or fine not exceeding 20l. beyond the value of the dog. A second offence is, however, an indictable misdemeanour, punishable by imprisonment with or without hard labour not exceeding eighteen months. Similar punishment is provided for persons found in possession of dogs or their skins, knowing them to have been stolen, and a justice may order the restoration of the stolen property to the owner.

Dogs are not the subject of larceny at common law. See (English) Larceny Act, 1861, ss. 18, 19, 21 and 22; Larceny Act, 1916, ss. 5 and 48, and Sched...
