I would think that if she doesn't pursue legal action and keeps calling and emailing you, which I hope you're keeping copies of, that you could turn around and have her charged with harassment. JMO.
P.S. I hope you get to keep the dog, it sounds like it would have a great forever home.  |

Wow, as much as I feel for this woman, it seems as though she should know whether or not it is her dog after meeting him. I would think that the dog would go crazy seeing his mommy, especially after not seeing her for awhile. I don't know how long it had been since they'd seen each other but there would be some recognition, I would think??
I like Rhetts_mama's idea of having someone in an authoritative role overseeing everything so things do not get out of control. I hope it all works out for all involved. I can totally understand this woman wanting desparately to find her dog, but to go about harrassing you is not the way to do it.
It sounds as though Murphy has found a wonderful new home and mommy. Will be crossing my fingers that you get this resolved and can get some peace and quiet to enjoy your new baby.
