Just ask the owner where she got hers. Puppies are pretty much the same they'll all make the same endearing faces give it a few days and you won't even know the difference. Plus you'll have the benefit of knowing you are the full and rightful owner.

It's true I know. It's just incredible what one week will do!

I understand how you must feel about this, I know its hard to give away pets that you love. When I was young we had to give our dog away and it absolutely broke my heart, but it was the right thing to do.

Does the lady sound like a competent owner that could provide it with a good home? Was the car parked with a window cracked and the dog so happened to just run away and wasn't there when they returned? You should give them the benefit of the doubt; they are looking for their dog.

It would be very noble of you to return the dog to its rightful owner. The owner could be just as heart-broken as you guys are, even worse maybe. Could you gauge the reaction of the owner when you told her you found her puppy?

In the end if you return the dog, you can always go help another puppy who could use a warm loving home. Best of luck with your decision!


Razith, thanks so much. We are definitely going to return her because it is the right thing to do. Hopefully the owner changes her mind though, she has five other dogs apparently! And this is definitely not the end of our search for a puppy


Well you and your wife should go together, take the dog and talk to the owner. I would suggest to just tell them how you feel and it would definitely show the caring owner that you are / could be. If you go in person and just talk with the owner they may change their mind as it is far more personable than talking over the phone.

But in the end its going to be the owners choice; it is the right thing to do and I admire you for that. Even if the outcome isn't favorable, I'm sure any new puppy you and your wife get will warm up to you just as fast as this puppy if not quicker. Nature vs Nurture, the personality of the dog definitely reflects the caring environment you placed it in, and I'm sure the new puppy will be just as loveable too. Best of luck again!

This was rude and ignorant. Please read.

Update:
We met with the owner Friday evening and they weren't willing to accept any money. At least we know they care for her. The puppy's mother was there (she looked like a border collie mix haha). We know we did the right thing. It's been a couple days and I just haven't had time to update. All I can say is that it sucks. We both miss our little girl a lot and I'll leave it at that. Thanks for all the support and comments on Friday. It helped. You guys are awesome. <3

Aww! I saw this coming, but you guys have my sympathy for losing a pet, however briefly she might have been in your care. It's never easy. Something similar happened to me once, and I was just a young teen at the time... rough times!

I'm glad she was happily reunited, and I'm glad to know that whatever pet you eventually get will be well taken care of. And, if the story is any indication, there's no doubt she'll be taken good care of, too.

That's why I do not like pets *sigh*
Or maybe that just makes me a sad person.

There's a topic in the TL Community section where he's giving away puppies if you are willing to go to Romania to pick it up.

It's worth about 300 pounds and they're about a month old, truly adorable.

Awww that sucks

sue seems like an idiot who shouldn't have a pet if they tied the dog to the post and left it there... could also be someone found it and didn't feel like going to the pound. Maybe I'm jaded, but I've found too many dogs that have been 'lost' by parents who just really didn't want to deal with a dog anymore and other shitty stuff. Lots of morons who lose dogs and straight up shouldn't have one.

Puppy jumped out the back window while they were driving

I saw the puppy thread but Romania is much too far! I'm sure we'll get a dog sometime soon, we just miss our little girl

Thanks for all the support. It really helped last week!

It's been a while since there's been anything worth mentioning but yesterday that changed After talking for the past couple weeks about how we need to find time to visit one of the animal shelters nearby a friend asked us if we would take a puppy! This one is ours free and clear
