I think it's ridiculous that nothing happens to someone that TAKES your pet and doesn't give it back! He deserved the punch in the face!

BOULDER, Colo. -- A woman in Boulder is facing assault charges after she chased down the man who she says took her dog and then punched him when he wouldn’t return her pet.
Doctor is a 6-year-old Yorkshire terrier and a mascot for Elize Deboom's Pearl Street clothing business, Hello Mommy.
She says her beloved 6-pound dog was taken by a man right out of the doorway on July 11.
Police say she chased the man down two city blocks and when he would not give her the dog, she hit him in the jaw.
"Probably not the best thing to do," Deboom said. "It's ridiculous, I got ticketed, I think. But you know what? I don't care. I got my dog back. I've had Doctor for six years and he's my little puppy, and I love my dog."
Police did not charge the man with theft because they could not prove he intended to keep Doctor. He told them he was taking the dog to the Humane Society because the animal was running around loose.
