Although a walking stick sounds great in theory, the problem is that if a thief or thieves is determined to take your dog, there is the possibility they will take the stick to disable you while they make their getaway and thus actually make it easier to take your dog.
I have heard of houses being broken into to snatch the dogs, a thief trying to steal a blind person’s guide dog, a Labrador purchased to help a lady recover from cancer being stolen and other despicable crimes. Although the dog snatchers take the dogs, the people actually buying them are just as guilty. Selling a puppy with false papers may be easy such is the demand nowadays but it isn’t just puppies being stolen, adult dogs are too. Who are these people who purchase an adult dog with no questions asked? Where do the sellers say the dog has come from?
I can’t imagine the pain and anguish felt if your dog is stolen. What a horrible world we live in
