What Would YOU Do - Stealing Your Dog's Pic???

[biancaDB]

That happened to my cousin on facebook - someone had photos of her and her boyfriend on a facebook page, claiming to be some other girl and her boyfriend... I dunno why they do that kind of thing?? seems a bit predatory to me...

It does seem predatory! I bet whoever is sitting behind that screen uses other peoples pictures as an alter ego and tries to get people to meet with them ! It really is a scary thing and even if it's just someone taking a picture of your dog, that still seems like a violation. I hope your cousin reported that weirdo!

That makes zero sense to me.... a gorgeous, clear, posed shot and she didn't think it's someone's personal photo?! BS! Like the rest have said, I guess it's flattery, but it's stealing too....and that would piss me off! Glad you got it all squared away.

Thanks and I call BS also!

I would be inclined to give her the benefit of the doubt if it were 1998 instead of 2011. People just aren't that ignorant of photos these days unless they never get on the internet.

Glad she changed her photo. If everyone posted a dog that wasn't their own, what would be the point of an avatar?

Thank You and exactly...my last dog was always commented on as having "a face only a mother could love" but to me he was the most adorable and would have never posted another dog in his place.

I HAVE indeed considered drawing Yogi many times. I just don't know how well it would turn out. Haha. I prefer to draw dogs I "know" like Rhett and Yogi because I have been able to see them from more angles and have a better idea of how they are built. I'm no professional but I do enjoy drawing.

Draw away...would be totally flattered. Also, there is no such thing as bad art...it's art!

I'm sure she knew it was your pup!! Believe it or not, back when everyone used to use Myspace I had a few friends find people on there that were using their pictures and faking they were them :/ ! Its scary/ creepy what some people do! That lady was probably telling people Yogi was her dog... some people

CREEPY! I actually deleted Yogi's pics off the French Bulldog groups on FB after this happened. I hadn't posted anything on there in prob 6 months and first time back this happened. I know someone that had their English Bulldog pics stolen off FB and painted without consent. Then the person turned around and tried to sell the art to the owner. Crazy!

Majorly, seems the person would be a little off their rocker.

I felt if someone would steal a pic of your dog and use it as their profile what would stop them from doing the same with a child's photo. This is one thing bad about the internet and one of the reasons my boyfriend hates FB. We leave ourselves open to something happening like this.

Aww you're too sweet and Yogi thanks you, lol!!!

He may be the cute one but you've got yourself some gaw-juss doggies!

Well thanks :) I've always wanted a Frenchie, specifically a cream colored male!

[frogdog]

That was me...wanted a Frenchie and only a creme. I think next year we may add another to the family but not sure what color.

[meggels]

It's me. I stole his pictures :D

LOL, well hell why didn't you just say so...then, I could have just stold Murph's cutie pic.
