Finders keepers
If you decided to get your daughter a dog for her birthday, went to the animal shelter and signed adoption papers for a golden retriever, and then found out six hours later, before you were even able to take the dog home, that it belonged to a grieving family who had lost her the week before, would you give up your claim and pick out a new dog?
OF COURSE YOU WOULD!! If neither you nor your daughter had any attachment yet whatsoever, you'd be thrilled to reunite a lost dog with its owners, especially if they offered to buy you a pure bred! That is, unless you're this bitch in San Jose, who basically said "tough shit" to the dog's owners, even though they could prove it was theirs because it answered their commands in Greek.
This makes us sick. Don't fuck with people's pets, lady. I think we're going to write a letter. If anyone else wants to sign a petition, let us know.

If by "sign a petition," you mean "enact an unpleasant physical sort of reality check on," then yeah. I'm in.

I read this story yesterday and I was appalled. Definitely count me in on that petition.

Turns out we don't need that petition after all... they've finally regained their senses. Woohoo for that doggy and her (original) family!
