I would take the dog if I thought I could get away with it. I'd have to take her during the night and take her to the Vet's the next day. The Vet's Office would try to find a home for her. They told me if I find an animal, bring it to them, not the Humane Society. Unfortunately, my four year old would have to see the dog and she's not good at keeping secrets. What four year old is? She would eventually let it slip that we took their dog and then all heck would break loose.
