He filed a police report because this jackass said he wouldnt return the dog. The shelter in FL was NEVER contacted because this jackass wanted to keep the dog.

Lawyer Steals Innocent Puppy From Nun!!!

Bullsh!t. You don't know that, only the lawyer does. We don't know all the details, so I wouldn't jump to conclusions.

 
As much as I think the guy was a d!ck I am glad he returned the dog to the kid. And I'd love to read his side of the story.
 
If somebody took your kid away wouldn't you file a police report to? Yeah yeah, some of you will say a dog is different than a child, but to some people, they ARE part of the family. Anyways, i'm glad there's a happy ending.

Explain how he now says he gave it to a nun. Once he found out it belonged to a 7 year old he should have paid to send it back to FL. He should have taken it to the pound. If the family did not return after a set time, I am sure arrangements could have been made with the pound for him to get the dog. It belonged to the family. If I see a car on the street and it has a flat can I assume the owner abandonded it, buy a new tire, and keep it?

Why he gave it to a nun? No clue. He's probably acting like a prick now because the guy filed a police report on him. Or perhaps he really DID give it to a nun BEFORE the actual owner called back. Or perhaps the nun thing is all made up, because his 5 year old son has grown attached to the new pet. We don't know why he did what he did, but I'm sure it's not so simple as a black and white Bad Guy against Good Guy story. And "paid to send it back"? This guy has probably already invested over $500 or more on vet care and upkeep for the dog. I wouldn't just give him back either without proper compensation.

Well, I guess we're just lucky he latched onto a dog instead of a toddler.

Let's not start this. You can change the story in a number of ways so that things become very different. First off, if it was a kid, I don't think the parents would have let their child wander away so easily. Something could be said about the parents being fit guardians. Also, when a person finds a lost kid and brings him to the police station, he knows the kid won't be euthanized. And so on... The same goes for all the other analogies that tries to rationalize attacking the lawyer.

To those who think the story is one-sided: He took a dog that didn't belong to him. If a dog has tags, you should turn it in to the nearest shelter, not take the damn thing home, especially since his home is OVER A THOUSAND MILES away.

Believe it or not, people abandon their pets all the time. They were Alaskan tags and the dog was in Florida. And let's not forget that shelters very often put dogs down if they are not claimed. We don't know how long this transaction took and it'd be silly to make assumptions.

The original owner owes him for taking care of the dog. If I was the owner, I wouldn't have filed a police report until contact was made. And once contact is made, I'd offer to pay for his troubles. If I had already filed a police report, I'd apologize, drop the issue and again pay for his troubles. I wouldn't file a police report and demand the dog gets returned... or else! Now, both parties are too arrogant to back down.

The article set out to influence your opinion from the start; this story has nothing to do with the man's profession or a 7 year old boy. But it's a lot easier to talk about good and bad by playing on social stigmas than to write an unbiased news piece. The sad part is, most people bite, hook, line and sinker. Everybody loves a witch hunt.

WTF is wrong with you people?????

How the fvck can you say he did the right thing when he took a dog that doesn't belong to him, flew it across the fvcking country, and refuses to give it back even once he knows who the dog's owner is?

One sided? Maybe, but who cares. That doesn't change the fact that the guy took their dog and won't give it back.

Did the dad act like an a$$, call the guy names, and file a police report against the lawyer? Probably, but who the fvck cares. It still doesn't change the fact that the guy took the dog out of the state and won't give it back.

Seriously guys, it's not that hard to understand. If you find a dog that doesn't belong to you, you take it to the pound so the owners can find it. You don't take it home with you when you live in a different state.

I'm generally an insensitive uncaring prick, but I have a soft spot for little kids, puppies, and kittens.

Oh, and I wager if he can spent a couple hundred bucks on caring for a stray dog, he's got a bitchin' car I can steal.

It's funny that judging by the posts here, the lawyer would've been better off just flat out stealing the dog and not contacting the vet in Alaska. No good deed goes unpunished I guess.

most likely he was just trying to figure out the shots the dog had had and stuff before he stole it.
