I personally thinks it's phucked up that you took the dudes dog.
1) you don't know all the facts about this dog and his prior owner. Maybe when he (the prior owner) found the dog it was in a much worse situation. Maybe it was in a locked car with the windows up dieing from the heat, or in a gunnie sack left for dead, or maybe hit by a car and the dude saved it. Your just assuming and you knows what happens when you assume!
2) Many people are homeless because of mental illness, bad situations, the economy, many reasons why people are homeless. Just because someone is homeless doesn't mean he's lazy piece of shit like your making him out to be. It's a tough world out there.
3) I call bullshit on leaving a $50 bill in the dudes basket, I think your trying to make yourself look good here on this forum after hearing peoples comments. If you DID leave that $50 bill you would have mentioned it on the fist page and not page 6. Explain why you left the $50 bill then?
4) Sounds like you live in an apartment, what kind of life is that for a dog? A big dog at that!
5) If you took my dog I would hunt you down like the thief you are and you would pay for it in a bad way. There are other ways to go about it, stealing is not one of them. Sounds to me like you have being a thief rated lower on your list then being homeless. There's no law that says you can't be homeless, but there's laws about stealing someones property.
6) I think if you truly feel the need to help the pet situation out in this country, go to an animal shelter and adopt an animal that's headed to the gas chamber. You know those animals are facing certain death. Dudes dog was being fed and was cared for, and loved. Just because you didn't agree for the care it was given, or the food it was fed it was still loved and gives you know right to steal him.
7) If things were that bad for the dog I'm sure at the first opportunity it would have ran away from it's owner long ago.
That's the problem with this country, everybody wants to stick his nose where it doesn't belong.
"OMG I just looked over this dudes fence and I seen pot plants in his yard. No doper can give a dog a good home, I think I'll steal the dog and save his life, the owner is high on drugs and that dog can't be cared for correctly".
Sounds crazy don't it? if not I guess we need to take that dog from you, and your other dogs too!
