Stolen? dog found toronto news this am - YorkieTalk.com Forums

gemy · 05-11-2011, 09:24 AM

So listening to the radio news this morning; apparently a woman had her dog taken; she had leashed/tied up her pet outside a Loblaws(grocery store) at Bayview and Eglinton (a good part of town) she was gone about 5 minutes and when she returned no dog.

Well two days later a neighbour heard a dog barking on and on and on, in a home where she had never heard dogs before, so she called the police. When the police came to the door, they saw a dog that matched up to the two different colored eyes this lady's dog that was reported stolen. They seized the dog, reunited him with his owner. But get this; because they said they couldn't prove malicious intent, the guy who stole the dog was not charged.! Go figure.

Ha! Around here people tie up dogs when they don't want them anymore!

Umm, how is that not malitcous intent? What's stealing then? Maybe he told them he was confused and thought it was his dog?

Good thing for the dog's owner that guy had a nosey neighbor

In the first place nobody should tie up their dog when they go into a store, I don't care how long they intend to be in there. That is like asking for trouble. If my dogs are not allowed in stores they stay home I think that's really stupid and the lady is lucky she got her dog back.

JMHO I fully agree! Leaving your dog tied up outside a store is not very smart.

Yep, I've heard all kinds of stories about dogs tied up and abandoned at all kinds of places. I can't believe someone would leave their dog tied up outside a store.

wow i live not too far from there, but when the weathers hot it's common to see people tieing their dogs up outside, i see it a lot downtown in the summer. If anything i think it's a hard lesson learned for the owner and hopefully sends a message to people who think this is a good idea.

Oh my, you never leave your dog unattended anywhere, car or tied up outside a shop, that is just asking for your dog to be taken, would you leave your baby in a pram outside a shop? no. Silly silly woman.

ash0248 · 05-11-2011, 12:34 PM

First of all you dont tie your dog up in a public place. Would you tie your kid up and leave them out there until you decided to come back out? I dont know if I would have taken the dog but I would definitely waited to let the owner know my opinion of her decision. always have a bag (puppy purse) with you so if a last min situation arises where you need to run in a store you will be prepared. Dont leave them outside , or in a car. Bad parenting.

If it's not Malicious Intent, then it's...
Receiving Stolen Property or a collaboration of that.

IF the Police actually wanted to pursue the issue
they definitely had grounds.

I bet if it had been a Felony action, they would have
arrested the guy. But for a simple misdemenor....naaa
