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

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
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.

Um, the whole idea of a stray is that it's a dog that has strayed from their previous home, i.e. it really belongs to someone else. For you neighbours not to turn it in to the local pound where they can post it as a lost animal, let alone give it back to someone who's come to claim it, tells me that these people are absolute idiots and don't deserve a pet.

#15, I think the OP's neighbors know its his/her dog but are acting like they don't so they can keep it

Bitches. Don't you have papers of shots or something you could use to prove it's yours?

This is why it's good to have a collar/dog tag! :)

You can easily take your dog back with some help of the police. If that doesn't work you can make a legal case of it.

I agree with number 5. they are Grade A assholes and you should fight for your dog as much as possible. did it have a chip implanted at all? do you have any papers to prove it?

FYL, go get your dog back, there has to be some way you can legally prove it's your dog. Vet papers, photographs, collars. These people are thieves, and one of the most cruel kinds.

If the dog doesn't have a tag, it IS a stray!!! That said, when they let the dog outside, doesn't it come towards your fence and sniff around or whatever, or indicate in some way that it wants to go home? Or when you see her, doesn't he come to you? Wouldn't the neighbor notice?
