First security guards N now security dogs
DOHA: Owners of some garages in the Industrial Area are catching stray dogs and training them to guard their premises amid a growing number of reported cases of theft of cars and spare parts.
“I could not afford a security guard for my garage due to the soaring rent of the premise and the huge expenditure needed to run it. So I have kept a dog to scare away any thieves that may come at night,” said an operator.
Customers have complained about parts missing from their vehicles after they were left at the garages for repair, the operator added.
Visitors to the Industrial Area, meanwhile, are concerned about the growing number of dogs, which they fear might bite people or cause the outbreak of an epidemic or infectious disease as most of the stray dogs have not been immunised.
The dogs are neither registered nor “expensive to keep”, which is why they have become popular with garage owners, according to Al Sharq.

and well taken care of as well. Seems a far better prospect then for em canines than the fate many unfortunate stray dogs suffer.
Yes dogs like KFC but they hate terrorists.
Cars locked up in garages and parts going missing, mechanics and garage owners instead of reparing cars are training dogs, tremors and earh shaking all the time.. looks like a major tsunami is on the way.
I was just wondering whether the customers were complaining about parts missing or their PETS missing. If the parts were missing then it must have been the guys at the garages who have been stealing and selling them off back to other garages out there or to the same car owner again. If it was the Pets that are missing then now we know that its the garage owners who have been stealing them
Do dogs like KFC...............
Looks like the garage owners at the Industrial area have stopped repairing cars and other vehicles and are now into training dogs. No wonder we see so many badly mantained cars on the road and on the side of the roads this days. Time to open a dog supply agency
brit, This will be a full time supply for one year where client has to bear all running expense of the dog..:)
Sorry. The Dogs will have to be provided safe kennels with food and water. they will also have to be immunised and regularly de-flead..
Here we go. Now we need security guards in QL as well.
Gives me an idea to start a dogpower supply company D4S...no investment or running expenses, but regular monthly revenue!
i didnt mention about any nationality....:(
Perhaps the Municipality Vet Service would be able to immunise (and sterilize) these dogs to prevent disease and more dogs. They could also monitor them for health and living conditions as the ASPCA and RSPCA do on an ongoing basis.
OOPS, sorry, there are still ongoing issues with the labour camps living conditions etc. So not likely to happen.
Lol :)
Industrial area still have dogs there ? i thought, by now all of them would have be eaten ? :)

Why not lodge a complaint to the police....So they consider dogs to solve their missing parts....Looks like they are running illegal garages else why not approach the police....something fishy
Yeah at least they will get a shelter and some food and a bit of love as well.
BG - I really want to see you once. Ur such a naughty soul I have seen so far. :D appreciate it.
Yes they use them even in third world countries. Dogs are so close to their owner they would never ask NOC.
how do ppl comment while on a break
Dogs are commonly used to "guard" such properties in developed countries..
