How sad for this family! I don't know what the laws are there, but here, the vet who disappears with your pet into another room is scanning to see if the animal is microchipped. I think if this were me, I would pursue it in civil court. That is when I'd think the dog would be returned to it's rightful owners, and the man who purchased it would be out of luck. Worst part is, that this man who has the dog feels he somehow has claim to it, and surely knows at this point he purchased a stolen dog, and worse, the stolen dog of a child who misses her puppy. sigh. Sadly enough, our world is filled with people who use that childhood saying as their truth: "finders keepers, losers weepers". If this man had one ounce of decency, he'd return the pup to whom it belongs to. |
