| Like many of you, I would be out the door immediately getting my dog back; nothing could make me wait a few days. stl may have other reasons for leaving the dog where he is for a few days. She says in post #14 she has a fussy human baby, and she is exhausted. Looking at her posts a year and a half ago, apparently they had Teddy 2 years, then had a baby and less time for Teddy. Not judging here, just pointing out that her other obligations and priorities could be a factor in not rushing to get Teddy back. I just hope that Teddy is happy and well taken care of now and in the future, wherever he is.

| Yes, I hate that too. Anyway, I told her that I will come to get him on Sunday, no matter whether they have a new dog or not. I don't have the address though, but it's not that difficult to get it (whether she gives it to me or I have to pull some strings). She seemed to understand, and agreed to return him on Sunday. But anyway, if not, I will call the police. I don't want to do that, but by Sunday I'd have no other choice. |

The audacity and selfishness of those people who have your baby is beyond the pale. When you go to pick him up, I'd have plenty of back-up and call the police ahead of time to ask for possible advice as to how to approach the situation of reclaiming a lost dog who has been retained against your will, making the authorities aware they might have to respond to your call should those people fail to turn your dog over to you Sunday. Record the whole exchange if you can, even if it's just on your phone in your pocket. Once I had my baby back in my car in the arms of a loved one or trusted friend, I'd have an good face-to-face with that person holding my baby by emotional coercion and tell them just what their actions cost me in emotional pain, turmoil of the soul, angst, fear and worry, how you missed your little guy and cried and prayed for him and how their actions alone totally shot your peace of mind. Tell them next time they find a lost pet, consider how desperate the owner of that lost baby is to get their hands on it, be sure it's safe, get it to the vet for a check-up and how desperate the poor, confused pet is to get home and that they must not think of their own personal wants and desires, that doing so is unbelievably selfish, egocentric and mean-spirited to the desperate family of that pet. I wouldn't be worried about how peacefully I parted from them as a person like that has no appreciation of manners or kind gestures of any kind. You can be completely straight forward and businesslike, telling them like it is and how their thoughtless actions cost you dearly and still not be rude or insult them. Plain, honest talk never hurt anyone and these people need to hear some. We're praying for you and that Sunday comes off without a hitch and you have that sweetie back in your arms ASAP. Keep us updated when you can.

| I agree with yorkietalkjilly about bringing someone with you, other then just you and DH, I would bring a 3rd person a male person on Sunday when you go to pick Teddy up, also consult authorities about the situation just in case you may need help.I would also bring Teddy's ownership papers, or any medical papers showing Teddy is your dog. I disagree with confronting them with harshness about holding Teddy as a playmate, as much as I would like to. I would also bring some money, kinda like of a reward, a thank you for caring for my dog, be pleasant about it, think about the future if they find another dog, if you make it a bad experience for them in returning your dog, the next dog they could find they may not give back. We here in the USA handle things differentially, lol, you have my dog is like you have my human child. we would travel to where ever to get our baby back, me, I don't care what reason a person would want to hold my dog for a few days that's not gonna happen. For what ever reason you agreed to let Teddy stay there is your reason, as long as you get him on Sunday. My concern is, because you agreed to allow them to keep your lost dog for several days , they may feel you do not have a deep love for him and may not want to give him back. This has been a devastating experience for you, and it is still not over until little Teddy is in your car, your arms and on his way home to his HOME. This poor little boy must be soooo confused, even if he is being treated well and has a little playmate, his love and loyalty will always be for you, his family. Please, please keep use posted. If you lived in the states, with all these days that have past, I would have been in my car and driven to where ever you lived to help you get this little boy back.

| okay, so I was set on getting my dog back on sunday, no later than sunday! so Imagine my surprise today when I got a call from a girl telling me they've brought Teddy back to her parents' house, where they had initially saw him. It is near my house. She told I could come and pick him up!!! Only that I couldn't as I was at work and we are during a pretty hectic takeover negotiations. My husband was busy too. It was such a long wait!! I hated that. But right after I finished, I drove like mad, but my husband actually got there earlier. He asked me if I wanted him to wait for me, and I was "No, just come and get Teddy before they change their mind!". I was so scared they will ask to wait a few days! I didn't even dare to come in. But after a while, my husband comes out and he was holding my little baby Teddy!!! He told me they were a very nice family, who just loved Teddy way too much. The other day I just met their daughter who actually didnt want to return Teddy as she'd fallen in love wih him. But they told her she had to return him, so I guess the whole keep a few days were actually her idea. My husband gave them the money (which we had promised in the flyers), but they took only half of it. And they asked to be able to come and see him sometimes. |

| they kept telling my husband to be careful and not let him run away again. And told him the whole story of how they found him, the father actually did. How he waited for half an hour for us but we were actually searching in the wrong place. I am so happy and finally relieved! I am so grateful to Yorkietalk for being with me through this scary journey! I always came home when Teddy had health issues and now this and Yorkietalk always helped! I am so thankful to all of you for your prayers, your encouragement and help! |

| Thank you soooo much for such a speedy reply, I don't know who is more beautiful, your little baby or little Teddy. I am very happy and relieved that your puppy is home safe. Again thank you for taking the time to tell the story of his return.

| I don't know which part of Asia so I am going to assume because of the details not given by the OP and her often self censorship in avoiding keywords etc., I'm going to assume she is in part of Asia where internet activity of common people is heavily/constantly monitored and 100's of thousands are employed doing just that. They do this by picking up keywords and by literally monitoring/reading everything their people do online. People learn, and its a way of life to self censor as a pre emptive control to avoid any involvement with authorities. I had family that spent 10 years in that part of Asia. With that said, the reason I have defended the OP is because I am a bit familiar with the treatment of animals/pets in those parts of Asia. Not too long ago a one dog per family law was instituted (yes just like their children)and people were forced to register their pets for a host of social reasons. Those license papers were very expensive and so for a short while they lowered the price and all those that had more than one dog were allowed to register before a set date and be grandfathered into being able to keep all their pets if the license was purchased before the closing date. Many people ran out to get more pups etc., to try to register before the date etc.etc.etc. The problem with OP's situation is she doesn't have the exact address, she is at the MERCY of these people, if these people have 2 licenses in their house (I'm assuming their dog is depressed because of the recent loss of another family pup) then they could try to keep her Teddy. By calling the police OP runs in to a gambling situation, because Teddy got out she broke the law and it carries a big fine (under the "leash law") and they may find she is not a good owner because of this and let Teddy stay where he is at or they may simply determine for any reason that Teddy can stay with the people that found him.
