She should counter-sue for theft and emotional distress.

What a terrible ordeal to go through. I'll never understand the cruelly of some people. If I found someones pet I would gladly return it and refuse the reward. It's not about the money....It's about doing what's right!!!! sigh.....

Absolutely. What about being a good citizen & decent person? Who wants money for doing the right thing?

I doubt this jerk is going to take her court. He will lose if he does.
This is just another reason why people should not leave their pets outside even in a fenced yard. We have seen several reports of dogs being taken from their yards and of other dogs getting into fenced yards and attacking the pets they find in there. We live in such a messed up world our pets need us to be one step ahead of those who would harm them.

We should be able to leave our dogs in our fenced yards. That's the purpose of the fence. She didn't do anything wrong. The scum that took the dog is wrong. He did actually petition the court. I person think it will be thrown out because it's all he said she said. She has no way to prove he took the dog, she has no way to prove how long he had the dog, He has no way to prove her returned (which he didn't) the dog and deserves the reward. I don't think any judge in his right mind would even attempt to make a decision out of this foolishness.

Yes, I agree, people should be able to allow their pets to be in a fenced yard, and feel confident the dog is safe. However, in todays world, A Yorkie is a highly desesirable dog. Some people will try anything to get their hands on this type of breed. I had Suzi out with me on the front patio, leashed, tagged, microchipped and all, and a neighbor told me they would take her in a heartbeat if I did not want her anymore NO, she is our baby, and never going anywhere to any other home. Our shihh tzu is beautiful, sweet and has a mellow personality, a great lap dog, yet everytime the focus is on our yorkie they are just too high in demand, so we all have to be exceedingly cautious at all times where our yorkie's are and not to ever leave them unsupervised.

I certainly agree with you that you should be able to leave your dogs in a fenced yard. However, the number of small dog thefts has increased by huge proportions in the past couple of years. The humane society and the AKC have put out multiple warnings about this trend. Not only are these dogs being taken out of fenced yards there have been many reported break ins where small dogs were taken. It sad but we live in a sick society where people do what they want with other people's hard earned property. It is even harder to take when a thief takes your four legged family member!
American Kennel Club - Protect Your Pet from Theft
These warnings have been on news broadcasts as well as many national and local newspapers. No, the one who had her dog stolen did nothing wrong but it seems we have to go the extra mile in protecting our pets due to the nature of the world we now live in.
