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.

This happened to me, but the opposite. We found a dog and realized she lived close to us, but happily gave her back. We were sad, but after about 2 months we were really happy, cause it turns out she was annoying and loud. They should be glad, now they can go pick out a dog of their choice

if it's really your dog, than go over there and get that bitch back! I wouldn't stand for that for a moment, who cares if they're "mad" at you!

Don't you have the the birth papers? The Vet papers? Any information or proof that the dog is yours and not theirs? I'd simply call the police. Prove that you're the owner of the dog, and maybe next time..I think you should get your dog chipped so you could always prove that you're the owner. Seriously, those people are scumbags and should go to hell. I hate those kind of people.

And this is why we get our pets licensed and/or microchipped.. YDI all the way.

They're your neighbours and they've never, ever seen you out with your dog before? Or, alternatively, they don't wonder why the dog they now have looks exactly the same as the one they have seen you walking quite a lot of the time and you now say is lost?

If you don't have all the documentation, do you at least have a photo or some such? You have much more restraint than I do. I'd just burst right in there and take the dog back. If anyone got in between me and my pet, heads would roll, I promise you.

i agree with you, I 'd lose all my restraint the instant they refuse to return my dog! at the very least call the police right away.

Even if you don't have ANY papers or proof (highly unlikely), you must have friends, family, girlfriends/boyfriends who come over and can testify that it is your dog. Call the cops and get your dog back. Then slap your neighbors.
