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

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 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

Brief encounter
Today, I decided to adopt a 11 year-old dog that had been in need of a home for several months. Two hours after I got him home, I discovered him dead in the backyard. FML

Today, at the rescue group I volunteer at, we finally adopted out a dog that has been with us for a few years now. This was an amazing thing for us because we never thought he'd get adopted. As we were getting excited and hugging each other, the dog ran away. FML

Here boy!
Today, I found a lost dog and called the owner. When he arrived, I thought it would be cute to put the dog down so he would run back into his owner's arms, like in movies. As soon as I put the dog down, it ran away again. FML

I think OP lost the dog, and FOUND it while dog sitting. Not that they lost it while sitting for it. So it was OP's dog, and they were dog sitting for its new owners A bit confusing though

Have you thought about telling the other family? If it has a chip an animal clinic can verify. I've heard dog custody cases can get crazy, and this is probably tough but only you can make the decision to bring this to light.

When this occurred was it while you were still supposed to be dog sitting or after?

You have to tell the original owners. What if they are still searching, making flyers, checking shelters, worried sick, etc? It's bound to be awkward, but c'mon... you owe them this much.

I think that the dog was OP's and they found it while dog sitting for someone else.

It is a dog why would anyone be worried sick. Just get a new one

Because some people have more value in their pets than that.

Please never own any living being if you think you can just "go out and get another" if something happens to it..

Well you are in for a couple of awkward conversations.

Did you have him microchiped? if not, then it's your loss. If yes, speak up so you can get your pup back.

I think many people would still give the dog back to its original owner even if it wasn't microchipped. It's definitely worth at least trying.

You lost a dog someone else entrusted you to keep safe? Where's the YDI button??

Accidents happen.

The fact that something is an "accident" doesn't exempt people from blame or consequences.

I think OP was saying they lost their own dog, and went to petsit for a family who had found and adopted OP's lost dog.
