Thanks Anna, lovemymaltese and Souraya!

Cinder & Smoke, thanks for posting those links. I too was curious what PETA meant with that particular line, but when I tried searching for it on Google I couldn't find any results. However, when I've now read through those additional articles you posted my opinion hasn't changed at all. I still think the man did the right thing. He did leave a phone number, so it wasn't as if he was kidnapping the dog. And the whole friend thing I understand as well... I'd be scared of having to go to jail too, so the first thing that would come to my mind would be just that; to leave in the dog at the police station, claiming I just found her. And he obviously stepped forward later after that, taking full responsibility. So yeah, I'm still on his side. However I don't think PETA should have left out the full details like they did. It just makes it look as if they are hiding something I guess, and that's a bad thing.
