Social media turns stolen Malawi’s State House Dogs into national comedy sensation

LILONGWE-(MaraviPost)-Readers on the BBC Facebook page have exploded with humour, satire, and disbelief following claims that security dogs from Malawi’s State House were stolen.

Many users immediately questioned the need for such dogs if they could disappear so easily.

Others joked that Malawians must be shooting a new blockbuster titled “The 4 German Shepherds.”

Some commenters remarked that the missing German Shepherds have now become more famous than local artists.

A few teased that the dogs were actually “expatriates” from South Africa working within the police service.

One user exclaimed “Haibo!” to express shock at the absurdity of the situation.

Another proposed a film titled “German Shepherd at Kamuzu Palace” to dramatise the incident.

Several readers urged everyone not to take the matter too seriously.

One commenter declared that “the king’s dog is king for all dogs,” suggesting that someone stole royal creatures.

Another joked that the correct movie title should be “State House German Shepherd Theft.”

Many pointed out that the story had now gone viral across all platforms.

Some claimed the dogs must have been taken as a sendoff gift when someone left State House.

Others suggested that the dogs might simply have returned to Germany on their own.

A few insisted the missing dogs must have been pedigree German Shepherds, hence the commotion.

Some users reflected humorously that Malawians love to play too much with serious matters.

Another proposed yet another film title: “The Lost Shepherds.”

Some joked that the proper headline should have read “Former President of Malawi Stole 4 German Shepherds.”

Another corrected it further, insisting it should be “Former President of Malawi Assemblies of God Stole 4 German Shepherds.”

At least one commenter distanced themselves, stating that former President Lazarus Chakwera is not their former president.

Others argued that the dogs merely followed him when he moved out and that nothing was actually stolen.

Some added humour by claiming a middleman had been arrested while the kingpin was left holding his fingers.

One reader introduced music by referencing DJ Faka’s “Who Let the Dogs Out.”

Others mocked the idea of a pastor getting involved in such a comical scandal.

Some wondered if people seriously believed Dr. Lazarus Chakwera could be accused of theft.

Others described the situation as “kuyaluka kuposa apa,” meaning extreme chaos or exaggeration.

Some mentioned that he is known as “Kwantere,” adding cultural flavour to the humour.

One warned mysteriously that “night has ears,” implying the dogs might be listening.

Another joked that Malawi is so chaotic that even mangoes get stolen.

More users repeated that the best movie title would simply be “4 German Shepherd Dogs.”

Others insisted the dogs were not stolen but followed their “fellow dog.”

Some stressed again that the whole saga is nothing more than a movie concept.

A few joked that the dogs were kidnapped, not stolen.

One commenter said the headline should have been “The Ex-Shepherd Stole Shepherds.”

Others hilariously noted that even cats have been stolen before.

Some concluded that Malawi has now become a full-time comedy series.

Many pointed out that German Shepherds are expensive and that thieves should be locked up.

Some joked that “security has been stolen,” hinting at deeper concerns.

A few insisted the missing dogs deserve recognition in the Guinness World Records.

One commenter declared the incident equivalent to kidnapping four police officers.

Another asked sarcastically whether the mother of the dogs had lodged a complaint.

Some noted that the issue has become so widespread that even the Area Chairperson must know.

Others wrapped it up by calling the entire saga “Animal Farm,” a fitting metaphor for the bizarre events.
