Can bailiffs take pet dogs

Bailiffs generally do not have the authority to take pet dogs during a seizure of goods for debt recovery. They are typically allowed to seize items of value that belong to the debtor, but pets are usually considered personal property with special considerations under animal welfare laws. However, if the dog is deemed to have significant monetary value or is part of a business, this could complicate matters. It's best to consult legal advice for specific situations.
