Strange, very strange. A owner who is so beside herself but leaves her dog in the *care* of someone else for months on end. A *caregiver* who is hysterical yet didn't even bother to check the shelters when the dog was lost. Being loud and demanding seems like a tactic to use when the truth might fail!

Seems as if the law would be pretty clear in terms of the number of days that a owner has to claim a pet. If those days expired, the shelter would have custody and be able to adopt the dog out to whomever they wanted based on their procedures. Doesn't seem to me as if these people have any legal (or moral) rights in this case.
