I don't think of my Yorkies as possessions but as part of my family and if someone had one of my skin children I'd certainly want them back. If you think about it as possession. I have an expensive piece of jewelry, one of a kind that disappears under the care of another and I find it on someone. Wouldn't I try to recover it. Either way, I couldn't let it go that easy.
Jhkkknn I wish you the best of luck in how ever you chose to proceed. |
I would only like to bring up the fact that the chip company cannot be held liable for information they are not given by the dog owner, humane officers can only find owners that have registered their dogs or are actively reporting their dog missing.
My Yorkies are my sons, that is why they are registered with AVID and every time I move I update the record.
A living life isn't something you wait a year and a half to claim without understanding that they have most likely moved on to another family and formed an attachment.
I'm sorry if this post upsets anyone but I am getting upset hearing people simply tell this woman what she wants to hear (in my opinion). She needs to just take responsibility for her part in this situation, she is not an innocent party. If the dog had been registered to the chip company, the dog would have been returned a year ago.
The new owners do not owe her
anything. They do not need to call her and let her see the dog if they do not feel comfortable doing so. They definitely do NOT need to help her get a new dog (financially or emotionally).
I hope she finds a new dog for her family and everything works out.
