Today, my dog ran away. Luckily my neighbors caught him before he got too far. Now they won't give him back because they think I did something to him to make him want to run away. FML

Last call, bad decisions and 3 a.m. texts you'll regret until noon. Cheers.
Today, after finally giving up on the search for my lost dog, I realized that my neighbors had found her and are convinced that she was a stray. They won't give her up and are now mad at me for trying to take my own dog back. FML
Today, my dog ran away. It was dark, so I couldn't see very well, but I ran after him anyway. Thinking I had caught up to him, I grabbed him. It wasn't my dog. It was a skunk. FML
Today, I bought a dog to make me feel less lonely. He ran away. FML

Today, someone let my puppy escape. I didn't know, until I arrived home and hit him with my car. FML
Today, my boyfriend finally let me take his dog on a walk, after two years of not trusting me to keep her safe. During the walk, a car drove by, causing her to run after it and pulling the leash out of my hand. Five hours later, and I still can't find her. FML
Today, I took my dog to the park. While chatting with another dog owner, my dog managed to steal their sandwich and ran off with it. I had to chase my sandwich-thieving dog through the entire park. FML
Today, I was walking my dog when I tripped on the leash, dropping his treat bag. He snatched one, looked at me, and ran full speed in the opposite direction. I had to chase him for three blocks, yelling his name. He thought it was a new game. FML
Today, I got home from work and found my dog missing. When I asked my neighbor if she saw what happened, I saw my dog sleeping on her couch. She tried to say it was hers. FML

If you love something, set it free. If it comes back, it's yours. If it doesn't, then your neighbors probably stole it and you should call the cops.

Call the police. They can't keep your dog against your will.

As someone from Ohio, I totally agree.

That doesn't sound too legal to me.

That logic makes as much sense as people who get upset at crying babies.

Legally they have to give it back. If they continue to refuse, call the police. Technically what they're doing counts as theft as animals count as property under the law. Just make sure you have veterinary records handy as well as any pictures you have of the dog as proof of ownership. Source: Friend just went through almost the same situation

I'm not a cop caller, but in a situation like that if they refused to give back something that's mine like my cat or dog, a call to the police would definitely be in order. And possibly looking for a new place to live where the neighbours are less dumb.

Dogs chase things...he probably got out when you were leaving and thought he could take a car ride....then saw something shiney and forgot you going bye bye. Either way animals DOMESTIC animals like fresh air too and the pup figured he was safe in the yard....now these people NOT HIS HUMANS have him and he's probably sad missing you but they trapped him. The point is call the cops! If you're a good fur parent he's been to a vet at least once so they'd have records, pics, anything to help you if this goes to court (which it may because someone dumb enough to keep your dog is dumb enough to lie to a cop) Gather all the pics you have around of you and the animal and you'll be cool. OR you can stalk them and get the dog to come to you and take it back! But be the smarter one and file the report FIRST or you may end up with theft AND no dog
