She cannot make you give her a reward for the dog. You could file charges against her and that's exactly what I would do. She has your dog and you have pictures to prove it!

Josie's Mom · 08-11-2006, 08:49 AM

Please let me make this clear....

The First boy, who found Josie lives a few blocks away. He called and gave us information. Without him...we would not know anything. YES, He will have the reward. Period.

The Girl is requesting we give her brother money. This boy,is the second boy who Josie was given to. (Took Josie to his town, 45 minutes away) I'm pretty sure we won't be giving him something.

Hubby just called the Girls husband's cell, the call went went straight to Voicemail with no option to leave a message. *sigh*

Josie will be microchipped as soon as we get her back...

Keep your head up...it will end soon.

I'm confused...what is the lady's husband *supposed* to be doing? Bringing him to you? Did he say that? How exactly have they told you they will be returning her?

I know, I know.... What?? Reward the boy who gave her dog away??? Am I kidding??? NO! It took Balls for that boy to admit what happened... Had he not come forward... Where would you be??? He had to seriously have thought about how upset you all would be that he gave your dog away! But still called you! And if this child, teenager, young adult, whatever... lives on your street.... all the more reason to follow through with the reward. If you don't... he may NEVER go out on a limb again... and certainly not for you guys, God forbid you need his help ever again. And he will tell all of his friends how bogus the whole deal was! Which will jade them as well... Or he can be rewarded for doing the "right" thing and he can tell all of his buddies what great people you guys are and you'll have that story circulate through the neighborhood.... Your neighbors should know your dog... and after this... they will from the flyers... Hopefully! And if she ever gets out again.. they should bring her straight home! You know this boy will if he is left feeling good about it all... When its all over.... He needs a big thank you... No matter what his attitude... Kids get defensive! And no matter what his initial actions caused.... He called... and for that he needs to be rewarded...

JMHO

On the flip side of this, after he receives a monetary reward, it could encourage him in a bad way. Let's keep an open mind about this...he could see this as a business opportunity. I've heard about it happening...you give someone a monetary reward. They start stealing people's dogs and wait to see if a reward is offered and then this person finds the dog and collects the money.

Maybe instead of a monetary reward, you could take him out to dinner...

Yeah!!!! Good!!!

As for the Brother and Sister.... Cant they be considered partners in Crime??? It sounds like extortion to me!!!!

Any plans to further involve the police.... I would be afraid that she might send Josie to live with a friend and say that she "ran away" till this all blows over just so she can keep her! The waiting.... the voicemail.... Why Cant the SB Police just go get her??

DENISE517 · 08-11-2006, 08:58 AM

I'm glad Josie has been found. I will continue to pray that these crazy people bring her back. Cant wait til she is HOME!!

Yeah, really....surely they have an animal control department or something and could hold her until you got there?

Kathryn_V · 08-11-2006, 08:59 AM

After having the police involved.. I would think this kid is clear that its not a simple matter.... Thats its a serious crime...

If we all thought like that we would not trust anyone...

Sad... I think we all deserve the benefit of the doubt.

But I know what your saying... It happens... true.

The lady/ Girl said her Husband would be driving Josie back to us today. My Hubby, OFFERED MANY TIMES to go personally and pick her up. At first the girl had said no, because she was comming down on this weekend. She said she could bring her then. WE SAID, NO. They needed to bring her ASAP. Which was this morning.

If I don't have her by 1pm (that is our cut-off) The Police will be strictly involved from there on.

AngelandLily · 08-11-2006, 09:01 AM

the parents. HE GAVE AWAY a dog that wasn't his. period. no placing of signs or looking for the owners. nothing nada zip. the trail wasn't even cold before the little one was on her way to Santa Barabara. we found a beagle girl who just had puppies two weeks ago. the mintue I got her. We had start going door to door with signs {homemade } posting everywhere for her owners. and had called the police and pound to see if anyone was missing her. while my eldest daughter manned the phone. Coman sense and decency says a groomed dog is a loved dog. Unless she hit very brush and mud hole to his house and rolled in something dead. ten to one. she looked cared for. and should added up to missed horribley.

Moral of the story. Ms.Beagle went home the next day. while they were getting pizza,she followed her ever loving houndie nose to trouble and one block later to me.

{her puppies were fine by the by. they were trying to wean her off them. by giving her breaks as long as could be.}

reward na. just a $1.00 to replace my paper and I kept telling them no.

I know what you're saying. Everyone deserves the benefit of the doubt. Unfortunately, the world we live in has conditioned us to think otherwise. It is sad.

RoxyJosMom · 08-11-2006, 09:03 AM

I'm so happy Josie has been found safe and I'm glad the police are involved. I agree that the boy that originally called should get a reward(enough to show your appreciation that he told you what he did, but not enough to make him think dognnapping is a wise career choice). Hopefully, you or the police can press charges so this lady will never try to do this to anyone else. She can't be a true dog-lover if she thinks keeping Josie from her real family is the right thing to do. What a total JERK! Nail her to the wall!!!! She should pay you for all the stress and heartache she's put you and your family through. I'm done now-I'm so mad I have to go clean my house!

chloeandj · 08-11-2006, 09:03 AM

I'm sitting here on pins and needles. I have so much to do and I can't stop refreshing this page to see if she is back home yet. Sending you many hugs!!!!
