I've had a couple of issues with the lost and found pets in my area lately. Granted the found dogs usually don't have ID tags and they aren't chipped. I've seen where the finder will give the dog to a relative just because the relative comments that they would like to have it. I don't think that flyers have been posted or that anything else has been done to locate the owner. The only thing that I'm aware of is that the finder has posted on a lost and found page on FB. The owner might not see that FB page, flyers weren't posted at the local vets, etc. To give the dog away without trying to find the owner, in my opinion, is wrong. Especially giving the dog to a relative.
