Mugsy - I would be willing to bet that this guy has moved your Tobey to a different location because he felt that he would be taken either by you or Animal Services. Apparently, this doofuss is set on NOT letting you have this dog Court action seems to be the only solution and even then he can claim that he no longer has the dog. Hopefully that will not happen - what a dreadful thing to put you through Hang in there Mugsy, if it's meant to be you WILL be reunited with your sweet Tobey.
