Yes this did it to me again. I have never been on the computer this long ever, I do need a break

Sorry I feel different about this. Most of the posts have been female. As a male I would have to say that the little b***tard that did this will do it again. Let the law take care of him so he won't do it again. Even if he was fined for damages, at least he learned a lesson. Yes I know faith and all of that, but right now he thinks he got away with it. I sure hope he goes to hell for what he has done, tearing apart families like that. If it were my dog (remember I'm a male), and I did discuss this with alot of my buddies and they all agreed they'd hunt this guy down with or without police help.

Sorry for the rant but justice needs to be served. The lord did his part. Got Maddie back to Denise and family. Also brought Justis to Lewis. But somewhere out there, there is a shallow little pr**k (again sorry for the swearing) that has no problem with what he has done.


Just my 2 cents.

Well, I'm female and I agree with Derek 100%! If he was that good an actor, tears and all that, its probably not the first time he's done something like that, and if he thinks he got away with it, it won't be the last time! Hunt him down and throw the book at him!

I logged on at about 12 pm after coming home from school and it took me almost 3 hours to read all the stories, replies and to stop here and there to shed many tears. Denise, I dont think there's anyone in the world that deserved this more than you.I barely know you but in the short time we have emailed each other I have come to learn what a warm and caring person you are.When I read about maddie I cried because like many of us I also know what it feels like to loose a pet.After reading this today I cant imagine how you must feel.I picked up my children from school today, bought them home and sat them down on the computer to read your story.They knew about maddies story but like all of us they never imagined they would read this. I let them read it because I wanted them to see how important the power of prayer is to us.Denise you never gave up on Maddie and Maddie never gave up on you!! Today me and my children have learned to believe in what you feel, even if it seems Impossible.God will make it possible!!

Bless everyone who has had a part in this miracle.

I know exactly how you feel and that was my biggest concern when I proceeded to get Cuddles from her original family (she was about 15 months old). But once she came into our family, it took her a little while to adjust, but in no time she acted as if she was always here. I think that it all depends on the personalty of the dog. It does seem that Justis is well taken care of and well socialized. And from what I read about Lewis, he goes to his ex's house every night to see his child and they also have a small dog, so Justis will have playmate times. And I am sure that they may get together with Denise and Maddie from time to time. I think that he will love and cherish Justis beyond our thinking right now. I mean, the man named Maddie - Paris - if that's not a man's thinking this is his 'princess' than I don't know what is (hahaha)

lol I told him I had to laugh when he said paris. cause if maddie wasn't named maddie...paris would be a fitting name, cause she loved to dress up, take pics, and is a total diva...lol

and i know that God has made this all happen, I have no hesitation that God will help Justis adjust too!!!

Derek....i agree with you, but i have to follow my heart. You Go!!! The way you feel is my first instint, but I have to realize what I've been given, and how I need to act accordingly if that makes sense. lol

Its the unfortunate fact of life. Thats why there is police, to get scum off the street. Fake tears and all. My roommate's father is a retired RCMP. I told him of this story. He agrees with me. If he's done it once he'll do it again, if he hasn't already done this before. Its easy money without getting caught. It doesn't take much time to do a police report. But I do respect your decision Denise. I would ask Lewis if he wanted to report this to the police too. Sounds like he was totally crushed when Maddie/Paris left him.

The title reads dog-napping in broad daylight.

Bonnie was 2 1/2 yrs old when I got her. She had been bred once but didn't have maternal instincts (my sons say it is because she thinks it's all about her ) so the breeder was retiring her from her program. I wanted an adult because I was originally getting her for my Mother and I didn't live close enough to help train her. Unfortunately as it turned out my Mom passed away before we could bring Bonnie home, so that is how I ended up with her. Let me tell you, I have never seen an animal bond with someone so quickly as Bonnie did with me. She has been my shadow since the day we picked her up 3 yrs ago and has never shown any signs of trauma or sadness. If she could talk I'm pretty sure she would tell Justis that being an only yorkie is AWESOME and that she is going to love her new home!! I can't imagine life without her and I am very glad that there are unselfish breeders who allow these dogs to go into homes where they can be spoiled rotten and doted on as they are supposed to be

[mizzwanned]

I wonder though...what if the guy that lied to Denise(tear guy) what if his friend was the one that stole Maddie and sold her and just told him to lie to her so she could think she was dead.

[teri88]

I have a Maddie, too. I got her from another YT member when she was 3 years old. The day we got her she was scared to death, and she ran away!!! But, once we got her home she adjusted very quickly. Dog's know when they are loved, and I think almost all of them will respond to that and adjust. Some may take a little longer than others, but I think very few will just never adjust.

What a wonderful day it is!
I would like to ask a special favor. Its going to be something hard to do, and it might leave a bad taste in your mouth,but trust me....it will be worth it. This I can promise.
I would like for everyone to take the negative energy they are feeling for the guy that took Maddie and lied about her death, to turn those feelings into prayer for him.
I do not in any way shape or form condone what he did. He caused so much hurt and heartache,that is unexcuseable.
But, we must take the higher road. Denise has her loving Maddie back home. Lewis will be getting a new best friend. God wants us to now have peace in our hearts. Peace and anger do not mix. This guy sounds like he is someone who can use prayers. And quite frankly, I can use the practice!
So let us take a moment to be thankful for all we have been given. And to honestly,with an open heart and love , say a quick prayer for the "bad guy".
I have done it many times in my life. It was hard. But afterwards,the peace and joy I was left with, was wonderful!
Many many blessings to everyone here at YT.
Angels don't always have wings.....sometimes they have Yorkies!
~*Angie*~

Thank you for this post Angie. We are all torn between conflicting feelings for this guy or guys along with what we would do if we were in the position to do something, but most of us aren't. Believe me, I don't like to say what I think of him/them right now. But WE cannot go out and hunt him down. WE cannot fill out police reports. What WE can do is what Angie has asked of us, and she admits how hard it is. We all have witnessed how the power of faith and prayer works.

And I adore the saying!! You should use that in your signature.....

[Sunnie]

Denise, I HOPE you are going to print out these threads and give to Lewis to read when he has the time (since he doesn't have internet) I think he should be able to see what we all think about him.

[LolaTheYorkie]

This is my first day on YT and the news about Maddie was the first post I read. I sat there and cried like a baby reading it! Last year my baby Lola got out of the yard and a neighbor found her in the MIDDLE of a busy street close to my house. Thank GOD the neighbor got her and took her home with her so we were reunited. It scared the crap out of me! Soooo glad that Maddie's story has a happy ending too!!! That's awesome!!!
