I have had arguments with some of my students about the finders keepers value system. A lot of them feel if they find something, like a phone, money, dog.... it is theirs. They would not take.. but finding is different in their minds. Of course finding could be in a situation that they could easly find the owner but they don't make that effort. Like someone finding a lost dog and not trying to find the owner. They change when they "lose" something.
I think some feel that way about dogs too. Like Nancy said.

My parent's always taught it to us "What if someone found Cammie, and never gave her back?"
I agree, it starts with the parents. However, I see kids today at 5 years old dropping f-bombs and it makes me weep for the future.
