That is wonderful that the dog was returned and also very generous that the family rewarded so huge...but in all honesty, I would never accept a reward like that for finding someones beloved animal. Just the act of taking the animal back to it's loving home is reward enough.

It's a wonderful story, Liz. It just goes to show you how valuable our animals are that we would pay just about anything to keep them in our lives. I'd re-mortgage our house, I'd do anything necessary to keep my babies in my life, but I would never accept a reward for finding and returning a furkid. Especially not 10K!
