[QUOTE="Travlr, post: 1851766, member: 42463"] Well... you haven't answered my question about this statement you made... so I guess I'll express an opinion. I've met people that think a wayward dog is fair game to take home and own. I think they are good hearted people, and have the dog's best interests at heart. I don't doubt that. But dam* people... what about the ten year old kid that is weeping uncontrollably because his heart has been wrenched from his chest? What about the little girl that is going from house to house with hand made flyers, looking for her best friend that disappeared? And don't tell me that if the owner cared, the dog wouldn't have gone missing. I've had dogs disappear and I know there are reasons. Dogs wander, sometimes long distances, and get lost. Dogs are stolen. Dogs jump out of trucks. And sometimes they stay disappeared because someone with a good heart finds them and keeps them. I've found dogs. Without exception... if I found the former owner the dog was ecstatic when they were reunited. And who am I to make that kind of judgement call, to keep an owned dog and take it away from it's owner, anyway? I remember my first dog that disappeared. He was a hunting dog and I'm sure he was stolen, used, and abandoned. I got a call about a week later and collected him from the side of the road where he had been hit and killed. He could have been returned instead of abandoned. My phone number was on his collar. Somebody missed an opportunity to be kind. [/QUOTE]
