HELLOOOO??! This is WHY we use ID tags, so our pets will be returned to us, not STOLEN by the person who finds the pet. Doesn't matter if it is a dog, cat, bird, reptile, whatever. Finding it, keeping it safe, great. Keeping it as your own? ILLEGAL!!!Originally Posted by lizbud

How horrible! I'd be going nuts right now trying to get my dog back. I hope they do. And then throw the darn book at the woman, don't buy her another dog when she clearly can't take care of one. Just because she's had a hard life doesn't give her the right to steal without being held accountable.

Oh I'd freak out!
I'd be going house to house looking for my dog.
Over my dead body would someone steal my dog!
How horrible!!

I am in agreement. For goddess' sake, if she wanted a dog bad enough to steal one then why didn't she just get one out from the free ads in the paper? Or the Nickel? Craigslist? FreeCycle (yes, I've seen it happen)? etc etc..

Probably because she is an alcoholic. I would guess giving a dog to your daughter instead of calling the number on its tag made perfect sense to her, if she was completely wasted.
Maybe she had a bit of guilt in a more sober moment, and wrote the letter.
I hope someone hears this story and knows the woman, and the original owners get their dog back. OTOH, if the daughter doesn't know where the mom got the dog, then her heart would be broken too. Imagine the police showing up on your doorstep to confiscate the puppy you got for Christmas. No winners in this one.

"All that is gold does not glitter, Not all those who wander are lost; The old that is strong does not wither, Deep roots are not reached by the frost. From the ashes a fire shall be woken, A light from the shadows shall spring; Renewed shall be blade that was broken, The crownless again shall be king." - J.R.R. Tolkien
