I still say whether or not the owners took the time to get the dog registered with the city, the guy should still give the dog back. If it was me, and I had just adopted this lost dog and then the owners came to me a few days later and asked for their dog back, I would be sad but I'd still give them their dog back. There's little kids involved.

It's just sad all the way around.
I missed that part!

If he had been registered, they would've been contacted immediately. Sorry, but I get so sick of irresponsible pet owners.

Perhaps he should give the dog back. I think there's more to it that we don't know, which is always the case. Probably a history of something between these people or something.
