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

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
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
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 searched our neighborhood for our lost dog. After screaming at the top of our lungs, driving around in circles, and asking strangers, we realized we took him to the groomers this morning. FML
Today, I got caught trying to steal my own cat back from my neighbor. FML
Today, I adopted a stray cat that kept showing up at my door. Turns out, it belongs to my neighbours. It wasn’t lost; it just doesn’t like living with them. Now, they want it back. 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
Today, I lost my dog and so I put up 'lost' signs. As I was coming back home I noticed one had been written on. It said: "Found your dog. Keeping it". FML
Today, I went to check if my neighbours were home to return their dog, having looked after her for a few days. I looked in the window and the place was empty. They'd moved house and stuck us with their dog. FML
Today, my neighbor's 4-year-old daughter came up to me and asked if she could have my dog. When I said no, she started crying so much that her mom came out 5 minutes later and demanded that I give her daughter the dog. FML
Today, I found the dog I lost while I was dog sitting. It was with its new adoptive family. FML

Ouch, that sucks I would definitely get others involved to get your dog back But how did your neighbors not even know that it was your dog?

That's why you have those chips implanted. To fight back against scumbags like these. What a pair of grade-A assholes.

Call the police. I hate people like that. We have a neighbor who steals every cat that walks into her yard, and keeps them locked in the house forever so you can never say for sure they are with her. Cats who are seen in her yard are never seen again though, and she leaves bowls of cat food out constantly to attract them. I hate her. She stole my cat, two of my family's cats, and at least two from other neighbors. The only reason I didn't go after her for my cat was because I was getting married and my husband is allergic, so I'd have had to give him away anyhow. I still hate her though.

hahah that HAPPENED to me! My cat ran across the woods to the people on the other side and the idiots wouldn't give him back. Eventually we outwitted them and stole him back- but seriously, it happens. I cannot believe it's happened more than once but... what dy'a know.

You can file in court to have them return your dog.

I call fake. - There's ALWAYS evidence that it's your dog. Pictures, a name tag, the dog's DNA on its stuff in your house, the vet confirming that it's your dog... Take some pictures to your neighbours and they're forced to give the dog back to you. - How come your neighbours didn't know you had a dog? Dogs bark and need to be walked every day, your neighbours MUST have noticed that. Unless you cut its vocal chords and kept it in a box. - I don't know about you, but the first thing people around here do when they lose a pet is asking their neighbours (and everyone else who lives nearby) if they've seen the animal. If that fails, they put up signs in the area, go to the police and visit nearby pet shelters to ask if anyone has brought in the animal. If you didn't do any of that, how can you call what you've done "searching"?

Wow, your neighbors are assholes. However, if you had put a collar on your dog it wouldn't be an issue...

You should have some documentation. I don't suppose anyone can just steal other people's dogs and there're no ways to get them back.
