My best friend's lab got lost or stolen and a couple of months later saw these people walking with her dog. she stopped them and they claimed they had the dog since it was a puppy (my friend got him from the pound).
Well they refused to even let her check his ear for the tattoo she put in his ear. So she and he hubby called the police, they came right away and the people said, no this is our dog. The cop said my friend had to prove it was her dog.. So she told him to look in his ear for the tattoo.. He did and made these people hand over Spot to my friend right then and there.
If spot did not have that tattoo those people would have been able to walk away with the dog. |
Yea same thing happened here to my friends DHs black lab. They stole her rite out of his rig when he went into a store to get a soda. He called the police and they didn't even want to come out . My friend said the cops told him it was a civil matter. What the heck , if a dog is considered property then why can't the Police do anything. He did get her back though because the cop held the dog and made my friends DH and the other guy go about 10 feet away and call the dog when he dropped the leash Candy went rite to her PaPa
( friends DH ) so the cop told the other guy "well buddy it looks like the dog belongs to him ( friends DH ) . Can you believe that, what if he had just got the dog an she didn't know her name yet then what ?
