Mugger steals dog's coat

Tom Phillips

A woman in New York says that a mugger stole the dog-coat right off the back of her innocent pet terrier.

Donna McPherson told the New York Post that she had tied up Lexie, her 10-year-old Westie terrier, outside a supermarket in Brooklyn 'for two minutes' while she bought milk.

While in the store, she heard a 'funny bark.' And wWhen McPherson went outside, she found the little white dog shivering.

His green wool coat, with leather trim and belt, was nowhere to be seen.

McPherson said the dog coat was worth $25 - and said that fortunately, Lexie wasn't wearing his pricier Burberry number.
